📢 National AusAlert Test – TODAY - Monday 27 July 2026

A test Critical AusAlert will be sent to mobile devices across Australia on Monday 27 July. This includes most phones, plus some smart watches and tablets.

🕒 Test Time by State/Territory
- ACT, NSW, Qld, Tas, Vic – 2:00 pm (AEST)
- NT, SA (incl. Broken Hill) – 1:30 pm (ACST)
- WA – 12:00 pm (AWST)

📱 What to Expect
Your device will vibrate and play a loud, siren‑like sound for around 10 seconds. A message will appear on your screen clearly stating it is a test.

✔️ If You Receive the Test Alert
You don’t need to do anything.
In a real emergency, AusAlert will tell you what’s happening, where, how serious it is, and what to do next.

❗ If You Don’t Receive It
No action needed. Your device may not be compatible or connected at the time.
To stay AusAlert‑ready, keep your device updated and restart after software updates.

🙌 If You Don’t Want to Receive the Test
Because it’s a Critical Alert, it can’t be turned off in settings.
If the alert may cause distress or disruption, switch your device off or to aeroplane mode for at least one hour from your state’s test time.
