Triple zero for emergencies, South Australia

South Australian Emergency Services are being inundated with TRIPLE ZERO calls from the public, wanting information and advice about COVID-19.

Only call TRIPLE ZERO if you have an emergency- if someone is seriously injured or in need of urgent medical help, if life is being threatened, or if you have just witnessed a serious accident or crime.

By calling TRIPLE ZERO in a circumstance that is not an emergency you are putting lives at risk because you are redirecting crucial emergency resources.
