Emergency Response Quick Links

If there is an immediate threat to life or property dial Triple 000​ for police, fire, or ambulance.

Australia's primary emergency call service number is Triple Zero (000), which can be dialled from any fixed or mobile phone, pay phones & certain Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services.

If you have a hearing of speech impediment & your life or property is in danger, you can contact police, fire, or ambulance on 106 directly through a TTY (also known as a  teletypewriter or textphone).  It is not possible to contact emergency services using the Short Message Service (SMS) of your mobile telephone.  The service is available 24 hours a day, 365 days of the years & calls made using the 106 service are given priority over other NRS calls.

All calls to the emergency numbers, whether from fixed, mobile, pay phones, or VoIP services are free-of-charge.

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, regardless of which number you dialled.
