What is the Emergency Call Service number Triple Zero (000) and when should I call it?
The Emergency Call Service (Triple Zero) is an operator-assisted service that connects you to the relevant emergency service organisation (police, fire or ambulance). You should call the Emergency Call Service in a life or property threatening time-critical situation. If a situation is not time critical but requires the attention of an emergency services organisation, you should obtain the number of your local Emergency Service Organisation from the phone book or by calling directory assistance.
