NT Health lifts Code Brown following fire recovery

24 August 2022

NT Health has lifted the Code Brown alert as it transitions into recovery following a fire at its medical warehouse in Berrimah on Sunday. All NT Health services continue to operate normally.

Interim warehouse arrangements have been put in place utilising NT Health storage facilities across Darwin.

Replacement stock of medical supplies and equipment started arriving yesterday, with further stock expected to arrive today. About 60 per cent of supply lines will be replenished over the next 72 hours with further supplies expected over the coming week.

Royal Darwin Hospital and Katherine Hospital will remain in a Code Yellow response for 24 hours to enable a coordinated response as medical supplies are replenished to make sure there are no impacts to service delivery or patient care.

NT Health would like to thank the local and national suppliers that have provided immediate delivery of medical stock, our health counterparts across Australia for their offers of support and assistance, and our staff for their exceptional efforts in getting our supply chain operational so quickly.
