What is emergency number in Australia 000 or 911?

A nine-year-old Sydney girl who dealt with a triple-0 operator to help her pregnant mother through a terrifying medical emergency says she cannot believe she has been honoured with a bravery award. "It was actually quite scary and I said 'don't panic, don't panic, you've just got to call an ambulance' and she said 'all right mum, I'll call 911'. I said 'nope, that's America, we're Australia, we call triple-0'.
