AusAlert is a new national warning system that uses the
latest technology to send emergency messages to compatible
mobile devices. It will be ready to use in October 2026, but before it launches, we
need to test the system in communities across Australia.

At 11:00 am on Saturday 20 June 2026, your mobile devices, such as
mobile phones, tablets and smart watches, may receive a test alert.

If you are in the Port Lincoln area at this time, your mobile phone may receive a test alert. You may also receive the alert if you have recently been in the area and your phone has not yet connected to a different mobile tower.

The AusAlert test in your area is a Priority Alert. It will vibrate
and include a loud siren-like sound that lasts about 10 seconds.

If receiving the test could disrupt you or cause you or someone
you know to feel unsafe, visit the AusAlert website at ausalert.gov.au
to find out how to turn a Priority Alert off on your device.

As this is just a test, you don’t need to do anything, but in an actual
disaster you should follow the alert instructions to keep yourself and
others safe.
