Emergency Numbers for Ambulance, Police and Fire
Emergency numbers generally corresponds to ambulance, police, etc. 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.
In case you want to avail these services from mobile phones you need to dial 112.
All operators render a 112 service to all phones within their coverage area. This facility will provide you with emergency services if you do not have normal phone coverage from your own provider. You can also call it from phones whose SIM cards have been removed. For hearing or speech impaired people the teletext (TTY) emergency service number with apt equipment is 106.
The advantage of using land phones for emergency services is that the phones may be traced in order to serve the emergency services to reach you. But the emergency services of Australia cannot trace the origin of emergency calls from mobile numbers. So be sure of providing details of your location calmly and distinctly when you call from your cell phone.
Due to acceleration in the number of calls made incidentally from cellular phones left in bags or pockets, the emergency operators will disconnect your call after 30 seconds if they do not think there is anyone at the other end of the line. Emergency numbers of other countries do not function here.
