Just 45 minutes after launching, the webpage to apply for a permit to cross the NSW-Victoria border amid the coronavirus crisis in Melbourne has stopped working.
Although functional when it launched shortly before 7:30pm on Tuesday night, by 8:15pm visitors were unable to apply for permission to enter NSW.
The red button which read "Apply online" had disappeared from the bottom of the page and an error which read "This transaction will be available soon" was placed at the top.
"It was temporarily up and running, with many of my friends in Echuca-Moama reporting they had gotten their permits," reader Kate told the ABC.
"It has since crashed."
Some social media users said in the first half-hour when it launched, the website crashed halfway through their application process.
Service NSW has been contacted for comment.

The online applications were for people travelling into NSW from Victoria ahead of police and military blocking roads and bridges from 12:01am on Wednesday.
Earlier today, NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller had encouraged people to apply for the permits the evening before the border closed.
He said people who were not eligible for the permit and were caught trying to cross could face fines of up to $11,000 and up to six months in jail for breaching the public health order.
However, he conceded authorities would be flexible for the first 72 hours of the closure.
