COVID-19
The latest on our retail stores and our contact centres
Our retail stores
We take the safety of our people and customers very seriously and have robust hygiene standards in place in stores.
We ask that you only visit a store if you’re feeling well and do not meet any COVID-19 self-isolation criteria advised by the Australian government, such as having recently returned from overseas or been exposed to someone with COVID-19.
Temporary closures to South Australian stores
Following the six-day COVID lockdown announced today by the South Australian state government, all our Telstra branded retail stores across SA are closed. They will reopen on Sunday 22 November.
If you need to contact us during this time, you can use our Contact Us page to get in touch with us online, or use the My Telstra app.
Check your local store listing for the latest updated retail information.

Impacts on our workforce
Due to global containment measures, Telstra’s contact centre workforce has been reduced. This means there will be longer wait times for customers contacting us via phone or online messaging.
There is no impact to Triple Zero (000) emergency calls.
We know how frustrating this can be and we are working to improve the situation, hoping to get to as many of you as possible.
Thanks for your patience as we work through this. Visit our help section online for answers to your questions or find tips on how to use the My Telstra App.

Increasing capacity
We are working to increase our contact centre capacity in a number of ways including recruiting additional contractors, ramping up our working from home capabilities, increasing overtime and extra shifts for our Australian-based staff, and diverting sales calls to our stores.
Prioritising urgent calls
We are prioritising Medical Priority Assist enquiries, as well as high risk cases.
If your enquiry is not urgent and does not fall into one of these categories, please either contact us at another time, or you can self-service on Telstra.com.au or the My Telstra app.
Tracking your order online
While we may not be able to take your call right now, you can track the status of your order online.
