Microsoft service outage – services largely restored
Update Saturday 14 November 2026: Microsoft has advised that services are now largely restored and stabilised following the recent outage affecting Microsoft 365 applications and email services.
Most QBCC systems are now operating normally, however, as Microsoft completes the recovery process, there may still be some delays in email communications. Emails that were delayed during the outage may continue to be delivered progressively over the coming days as services fully return to normal.
If you are trying to contact the QBCC by email, are awaiting a response from us, or have not received an expected email or acknowledgement of receipt, please be assured that we will take these circumstances into consideration and make reasonable adjustments to relevant timeframes where necessary (or where possible under legislation).
Thank you for your patience and understanding during this disruption. We also appreciate the flexibility shown by our customers while alternative arrangements were used to maintain services and progress important matters.
