A free app built by Australia’s emergency services. It uses your phone’s GPS to help you tell Triple Zero exactly where you are.
On a bush track, a beach or in a suburb you do not know, you may not be able to give an address. The app shows your location, and you can place the 000 call from inside it.

- Your phone and its app store
Install it before you need it. It helps with your location; it does not replace knowing how to call 000.
