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 3pm Wednesday, 24 December 2014, until 7 am Monday, 5 January 2015, 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.

Please email Media Operations (mediaops [at] defence.gov.au ()) with any urgent enquiries.

Any non-urgent enquiries will be processed on our return.
