The dashboard uses real time data to tell you if the Practitioner Lodgment Service is functioning normally or is experiencing problems. If there has been an outage or a change in the operational status and if after 15 minutes your experience is not reflected contact the ATO. This dashboard does not reflect the status of other systems which PLS interacts with or relies upon, such as Relationship Authorisation Manager (RAM) authentication services.

Investigating
Depending on the software you use, you may experience intermittent difficulty when accessing PLS services. This is not a fault with your software, but an ATO problem. We are investigating the problem as a priority. Thank you for your patience.
