EMERGENCY NUMBERS

 

 

 

 

IN AN EMERGENCY DIAL  -  ZERO ZERO ZERO

FOR POLICE / AMBULANCE / FIRE BRIGADE

 

 

In Australia the emergency call number  for police, ambulance or fire brigade is zero zero zero (000). It is a free call.

 

The American 911 or British 999 are not used here. If it is not an emergency then use the SERVICES number provided by this guide.

 

It is important that the triple zero number is ONLY used if there is a current emergency. It is not the number to use if your wallet has been stolen or your car broken into (unless of course the offender is still there).
