Known issues
Occasionally, there may be delays in out-of-hours responses as the Press inbox is not monitored outside office hours. Urgent queries should be directed to the Duty Press Officer by requesting a page. Frequent issues arise from non-media queries being rejected, as the Press Office is dedicated to media-related matters only. Such queries should be redirected to the general enquiries line or the organization's website. To avoid frustration, ensure you have the necessary media credentials and detailed information about your request before calling.
