The actual report says that Ipswich hospital wasn't part of the load shedding; so it's not clear why the generators had to cut in in the first place yet.

When the frequency is nosediving and below some threshold it is a good sign that you want to switch to your back up power immediately. Even if there isn’t ultimately a cut, it is bad quality power and a sign of system instability
