Be AusAlert ready: always install the latest software updates on your device.
AusAlert will be ready to use in October 2026, but before it launches, the system will be tested in local communities.
AusAlert will be tested in selected communities across Australia in June 2026.
A test alert will be sent to all mobile devices in the selected testing area at the time of the test. If you are in the test area with a compatible mobile device you may receive the alert.
Devices may vibrate and play a siren-like warning sound for about 10 seconds.
An AusAlert message may appear on device screens. It will clearly say it is a test.
Exactly how it appears will depend on your device type and operating system.

You don’t need to do anything.
It is just a test. But in an actual disaster, an AusAlert will tell you the type of emergency, where it’s located, how serious it is and what to do. It will also tell you the name of the emergency organisation that has sent the AusAlert and where to find more information about the emergency.
You don't need to do anything.
You might not be in the test area, your device might not be compatible or maybe it wasn’t connected to a mobile tower at the time of the test.
To make sure you're AusAlert ready, always install the latest software updates on your device when asked. Be sure to restart your device after updating.
AusAlerts contain important information and should be turned on to help keep you safe. The AusAlert community tests will be Priority Alerts. If receiving a Priority Alert might disrupt you or cause you or a family member to feel unsafe, you can choose to opt out. See Turning off alert messages.
You can also turn off your mobile devices or switch them to aeroplane mode before the scheduled test time in your location and leave them off for at least one hour.
