Emergency Contacts 

In an emergency, call triple zero (000) on any phone that has reception, even if the phone is locked. This free service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and offers immediate assistance. 

You are involved in an emergency if:

• someone’s life or property is being threatened
• someone is seriously injured or in need of urgent medical help
• you have just witnessed a serious accident or crime

When calling triple zero (000) remember to: 

• say which service you need: ambulance, police or fire brigade
• stay calm, do not shout and speak slowly and clearly
• tell the operator exactly where to come. Give an address or location. 
• listen carefully to the operator, answer their questions and follow any instructions they give
• stay on the phone and do not hang up until the operator tells you to do so

Being prepared and knowing who to call in an emergency can help save lives. Remember to stay focused, stay relevant and stay on the line.

Important: If there is no mobile coverage on any network, you will not be able to reach the emergency call service via a mobile phone.
