Australian national emergency phone number
Triple Zero (000) is the primary emergency telephone number for Australia and its External Territories. Calls to Triple Zero from the Australian mainland are initially answered by Telstra, then transferred to a state or territory emergency service. The Triple Zero system is overseen by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) and is intended only for use in life-threatening or time-critical emergencies that requires police, fire or ambulance.
