I am aware of a large-scale technical outage affecting a number of companies and services across Australia this afternoon. Our current information is this outage relates to a technical issue with a third-party software platform employed by affected companies.

I understand Australians are concerned about the outage that is unfolding globally and affecting a wide range of services. My Government is working closely with the National Cyber Security Coordinator.

The Australian Government has conducted a National Coordination Mechanism meeting, which I joined earlier this evening. Crowdstrike attended the meeting and we can confirm there is no evidence that this is a cyber-security incident.
