The Northern Territory Government is managing a Territory-wide ICT outage affecting telecommunications, internet connectivity and operational systems.
The outage commenced at approximately 3:00 am today and has affected multiple NT Government networks and services.
The Joint Emergency Communications Centre (JESCC) has experienced intermittent disruptions to the Police Assistance Line (131 444), and callers may experience delays.
Triple Zero (000) emergency services remain operational and are not affected.
An Incident Management Team has been established at JESCC, bringing together representatives from NT Police, St John Ambulance, Fire and Emergency Services, the Department of Corporate and Digital Development (DCDD) and NT Health to coordinate the response.
