Australia’s new emergency warning system, AusAlert, will be tested Monday 27 July at 2.00pm AEST.

If you have a compatible mobile device, you may receive a test alert that includes a loud siren-like sound and vibration. There’s no need to register or download an app – alerts are sent automatically.

AusAlert will become part of Australia’s emergency warning system from 1 October 2026, helping deliver important information during emergencies such as bushfires and floods.

This is only a test. In a real emergency, always stay informed, be prepared, and follow your emergency action plan.

📢 Help spread the word by sharing this post with your friends and family so they know what to expect and can stay informed.
