Victoria's Eastern Health Service has been hit by an IT outage, causing a number of systems to be affected in hospitals across Melbourne.
Systems are down at Box Hill Hospital and Angliss Hospital causing administrators to issue a "code yellow internal emergency" declaration.
"The issue has been caused by a critical core switch outage that we are currently working to rectify," Eastern Health said in a statement.
