Guarantee over Alert Every Aussie Will Get
The 10-second alarm will help officials check for technical and operational problems before AusAlert is used for disaster and public-safety warnings.
- On Monday July 27, Australia will conduct a nationwide test of the AusAlert warning system, sounding a 10-second siren on up to 25 million mobile phones.
- The system utilizes cell broadcast technology used in more than 30 countries, transmitting warnings to compatible devices without needing phone numbers or relying on congested SMS networks.
- This mass broadcast will override silent and Not Disturb settings; the National Emergency Management Agency advises concerned users to switch off devices or set them to "aeroplane mode" before 2pm on July 27.
- Following a July 8 Telstra network outage, ACT Emergency Services Agency Commissioner Wayne Phillips emphasized that reliable systems remain critical for ensuring the public can reach triple zero during emergencies.
- The government will fully implement AusAlert on October 1, following the July 27 test, to bolster public safety communication ahead of the 2026-2027 Bush fire season.
