What happens next

When you log a ticket through the Get Support page you have an opportunity to provide the information required for us to assess the Priority to be assigned.

What response time should I expect?

Ticket response and resolution time targets are based on the priority assigned. A ticket can be assigned to a Service Desk Engineer or escalated to a Systems Engineer depending on the complexity of the request and the authority level required to address the request. An engineer will contact the person named in the ticket via email or phone to resolve the incident or to respond to the request. 

What if my request is urgent?

The majority of tickets are assigned with P4 - Normal priority (Resolution time 24 Business Hours). If the request is urgent and needs to be completed urgently, please indicate the urgency to on the Get Support form. Our Service Desk will escalate the ticket (Prefix ticket Summary Description with 'Urgent') in the Service Desk queue or escalate the ticket to a higher priority if the incident is impacting more users than expected by the nature of the incident.

What are the Service Desk hours?

Requests can be logged 24x7 via email. Your request will be responded to during Service Desk Hours. Normal Service Desk Hours are 7am - 6pm (AEST & AEDT) Monday to Friday excluding national public holidays.
