The network incident has now moved into the monitoring phase. Services have been restored, and we are continuing to closely monitor network performance to ensure stability. Our Customer Help team remains available until 1:30 pm today to assist customers requiring any post-restoration support or experiencing ongoing service issues. We thank all affected customers for their patience and understanding throughout this incident. Should any further issues arise, we will provide additional updates as required.

As network restoration continues, services are now returning to normal. If your service is still offline or not operating as expected, we recommend performing a power cycle of your equipment: Turn off your modem/router and your NBN connection device (where applicable). Leave both devices powered off for at least 60 seconds. Turn your NBN connection device back on and wait until all status lights have stabilised. Turn your modem/router back on and allow up to 10 minutes for the service to reconnect. Power cycling your equipment allows it to establish a fresh connection to the network following the restoration works. If your service has not been restored after completing these steps and waiting 10 minutes, please contact our Customer Help team for further assistance. Thank you for your continued patience.

We are beginning to see the remaining impacted customer services restore as recovery efforts progress.
