Banned and Restricted Applications on PBR Devices

Overview

PBR-issued devices are managed through Microsoft Intune (Company Portal). Certain applications are prohibited on PBR devices for security, legal, or compliance reasons.

Prohibited Applications

Application	Reason
TikTok	Prohibited under Australian Government guidance due to security concerns — banned on all government-adjacent and critical infrastructure devices

This list will be updated as new guidance or policy changes arise.

Installing New Applications

If you need a specific app for your PBR role, contact IT Helpdesk. Do not install apps from outside the App Store, and do not use personal Apple IDs to install apps on PBR-issued devices.

IT can push approved apps directly to your device through Company Portal.

Accessing the App Store on a PBR Device

The App Store is available on PBR devices for personal app use within acceptable use policy. However:

Do not use your personal Apple ID if the device was issued with a managed Apple ID
Prohibited applications may be blocked or automatically removed by Intune policy
Work-related apps should be installed via Company Portal, not the App Store directly
