Known issues
Callers occasionally experience long wait times, especially during peak news cycles or major university events. To mitigate this, it is recommended to call earlier in the day when the lines are less busy. For non-urgent matters, emailing the News Office can be a more efficient alternative. Ensuring you have all necessary information, such as your media outlet and nature of enquiry, ready before calling can also help streamline the process and reduce wait times.
