The police urge people in Australia to save Triple Zero (000) for emergencies only and contact the police for non-urgent incidents through other assistance lines. If your call to Triple Zero is not for an emergency, you might be delaying people in life-threatening situations from getting help in time.
Key points:
- You should only call Triple Zero (000) in a life-threatening or time-critical emergency.
- To contact the police for non-urgent incidents, call the Police Assistance Line (131 444).
- There are tools on mobile phones to help you identify your location quickly and accurately when requesting for emergency help.
