⚠️ Important safety information about the upcoming AusAlert national test.

On Monday 27 July at 2:00 pm (NSW), compatible mobile phones across Australia will receive a test emergency alert that may override silent settings and play a loud siren-like sound.

For people experiencing domestic and family violence, this could create safety concerns if they rely on a hidden or safe phone. The current advice is to switch the device off before the test.

Please share this information with anyone who may need it. 💜
