The Australians are very particular about their etiquettes and behavioral patterns. Like most other countries handshakes are widely expected when getting together with friends or new people and when leaving the party of friends or people who one has just met.
Major trauma arising due to accidents and serious injuries is a major issue in Melbourne. A person facing a major trauma is treated at a major trauma service center. Adults can get treated at the Royal Melbourne Hospital while the children can get treated at the Royal Children's Hospital. The clinics and 24 hours emergency service are extremely helpful in this matter.
The number 000 called 'triple zero' or 'triple oh' can be dialed from any telephone in Australia, home or payphone, free of charge. Through this number one can get in touch with emergency operators for the police, fire brigade, and ambulance service. After you get in touch the first question that the operator will ask is which service you have called for. But don't call 000 if it is not an emergency and you still need these services.
