IPv6 offers several ways that aren’t possible in IPv4 to assign IP addresses, and DNS set-up has differences as well.

Each device will be allocated a dynamic /64 IPv6 prefix, with access to the next-gen addressing scheme on Telstra's network requiring further configuration on user devices.

IPv6 also has a mechanism called stateless autoconfiguration for configuring IPv6 addresses. Stateless autoconfig works without a central server to hand out individual addresses.
