Crisis Support
Services that can assist during times of hardship and crisis.
-
If there is a life-threatening emergency, call 000 (zero zero zero). It's a free call, even from your mobile.
An operator will answer and will ask which of the following services you need:
police
fire, or
ambulance (which is covered by your Overseas Student Health Cover).
If you're not sure which one you need just tell the operator what you are calling about and they will help guide you.
If you don't speak English, tell the operator your language and you will be connected to a translator who will be able to assist.
Triple zero (000) should only be used if:
someone has been seriously injured or is in urgent need of medical help
your life or property is being threatened, or
you have just witnessed a serious accident or crime.
