Hey you mob, a reminder that the National Phone Alert Test will be happening today at 2 pm. 🚨

Please find more information about the National Phone Alert Test below:A national test of AusAlert is happening on Monday, 27 July 2026 at around 2pm AEST. During the test, all compatible mobile devices in Australia will receive an alert at about the same time. ⚠️The AusAlert national test will be a Critical Alert. This means you’ll receive it even if your device is on ‘silent’ or ‘do not disturb’. The alert may stay active for up to an hour. AusAlert messages share important information, but they could make hidden safety devices easier to find.If it’s not safe to receive the AusAlert national test on your devices:⏰ Turn them off or put them in aeroplane mode at least one hour before the test.📱 Keep them off or in aeroplane mode for 24 hours after the test.Following the national test, if it’s not safe to receive AusAlerts on your hidden devices at any time, keep them turned off or in aeroplane mode until you need to use them.If you’re concerned about your immediate safety, call 000. If you have concerns for your safety and would like further advice or support, call 1800RESPECT (1800 737 732). For Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander services, call 13YARN (13 92 76).
