My Department's core IT infrastructure is provided by the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer (OGCIO) under the 'Build to Share Managed Desktop' shared service. The data and telephony, which is Voice Over IP (VOIP), communication lines for the Department of Defence are fibre optic communication lines.

My Department also has a number of copper communication lines that are currently in active operation, this includes lines which are required to meet building safety requirements such as lifts and fire safety equipment.
