PolicyConnect Performance Issues
We’re committed to keeping you informed about performance issues and improvements in PolicyConnect. Below is a running log of known incidents, what happened, and what actions we’ve taken.
🟢 Current Status
Last Updated: 18th July 2025 (6:00 PM AEST)
We’ve rolled out additional performance enhancements behind the scenes to improve how the platform handles content and actions in real time.
Across our internal testing, these updates have resulted in faster load times and smoother interactions—particularly in areas that previously experienced lags during higher activity.
What this means for you:
You should now notice better responsiveness and reduced wait times across the platform, especially when accessing data-heavy content or performing repeated actions.
We’re committed to ongoing optimisation and are already monitoring system performance closely during peak periods to ensure a consistent experience for all users.
Thank you for your continued feedback and support.
📅 Incident History
| Date & Time (AEST) | Issue Summary | Impact | Status | Actions Taken |
