Two aircraft, both maintaining flight level 350, were on converging tracks with the same estimate for overhead Morawa NDB, Western Australia. A controller noticed the potential conflict and alerted the sector controllers managing the flights, who acted to resolve the situation.  There was a loss of separation assurance.

The investigation is continuing.
