Important Reminders

Calling 911 will NOT connect you to emergency services in Australia. If you have no mobile coverage, none of the above numbers will work. In remote areas, a satellite phone or emergency beacon may be your only option.

The Emergency+ app is recommended for all smartphones. It displays your GPS coordinates and supports Triple Zero calls when you are unsure of your exact location.
