📢 National AusAlert Test on Monday 27 July

A nationwide test of the new AusAlert emergency warning system is scheduled for MONDAY 27 JULY 2026 at 1:30pm NT time.

AusAlert is the new national emergency warning system that will send alerts to compatible mobile phones, tablets and smart watches during emergencies.

⚠️ Please be aware: During the test, compatible devices will play a loud siren-like sound for around 10 seconds, even if your phone is on silent or do not disturb mode.

For many people, particularly those with sensory sensitivities or other conditions affected by loud noises, experiencing violence, coercive control, trauma or living in unsafe environments, unexpected alerts like this can be distressing or place them at risk.

If you or someone you support may be affected, consider:

• Turning devices off or switching to aeroplane mode before the scheduled test time
• Leaving devices off for at least one hour
• Talking through a safety plan in advance if needed

We also encourage workers, carers and support people to familiarise themselves with how these alerts function, especially when supporting people in high-risk or sensitive situations.

The alert will clearly state that it is only a test, and you do not need to do anything if you receive it.

For more information, including an example of the alert sound and accessible resources, visit: ausalert.gov.au
