When should I call Triple Zero (000)?
This is a very common question asked by many community members and the free Emergency+ app may just have the answer.
Emergency+ is a national app developed by Australia’s emergency services and their Government and industry partners, helping people to call the right number at the right time, anywhere in Australia.
The app uses a mobile phone’s GPS functionality so callers can provide emergency call-takers with their location information as determined by their smart phone.
Emergency+ also includes SES and Police Assistance Line numbers as options, so non-emergency calls are made to the most appropriate number.
When calling Triple Zero 000, remember to stay focused, stay relevant, and stay on the line.
Before you call, ask yourself:

Is your life or property being threatened?
