Update: The telecommunication issues have been resolved and our systems are back online.

Austin Health is experiencing telecommunication issues that we believe is a result of the Optus outage.

We are currently unable to receive phone calls from external numbers, however our internal systems are functioning meaning patient care is not impacted.

A temporary number for the Victorian Poisons Information Centre has been instated while the outage continues. Please call 1300 392 539. 

We thank our patients and community for their patience while we work through this issue
