A nationwide phone alert test is coming ⚠️📱

On Monday 27 July, the Australian Government will test the new national emergency warning system, AusAlert.

The alert will cause compatible devices to vibrate and play a loud warning sound, even if they're on silent or Do Not Disturb. A message will also appear on your device clearly stating that it's a test alert, and no action is required.

If you're supporting a young person, talking about the test beforehand can help them know what to expect.

If receiving the test could disrupt you or cause you or someone you know to feel unsafe, turn compatible devices off or switch them to aeroplane mode before the scheduled test time in your location and leave them off for at least one hour.

To learn what to expect and when the test is happening in your state or territory, follow the link here: https://www.ausalert.gov.au/alerts-explained/national-test

Supporting a young person with attending school

For some young people, going to school can cause high levels of distress and anxiety, which may lead to reluctance or difficulty attending. This can also be stressful for the adults who care for them, making it challenging to navigate both a young person’s emotions and their own.

Join our free online text‑based group chat to connect with other adults and explore ideas for supporting a young person as they develop and learn to navigate life’s ups and downs.

📅 15 July, from 6:30pm – 9:45pm AEST
💻 Online text-based chat
✅ Register now via the link

You don't have to figure this out alone. Tap the link to register and set a reminder for the chat.
