Merry Christmas from Defence Media Operations

Defence Media Operations would like to take this opportunity to wish all in the media a happy and safe Christmas.

While operational areas of the Department of Defence will maintain a capability to respond to emerging requirements, those personnel not required will be taking leave during the Christmas-New Year period.

Therefore from 5pm Friday, 21 December 2012 until 7am Wednesday, 2 January 2013, Defence Media Operations will be operating on an after-hours basis.

Please note that a Media Operations Duty Officer will be available on-call to respond only to issues of national importance or major incidents.
