- a disturbance or breach of the peace, for example a domestic violence incident or anti-social behaviour; or
- any suspected offence in progress, being witnessed or just committed.
- What happens when I call 000?
- Your call is first answered by Telstra, who will ask "Emergency. Which service do you require - Police, Fire or Ambulance?"
- Respond with the service/location you need (if you are using a mobile telephone you will be asked for the city and state you are in).
- Your call will then be connected to the emergency service you need.
