⚠ AusAlert is being tested in Launceston at 11am on
Monday 15 June 2026

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,
and Launceston, Tasmania has been chosen as a test location.

Launceston AusAlert test:
At around 11am on Monday 15 June 2026, your mobile devices,
such as mobile phones, tablets and smart watches, may receive a
test alert.

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.

To learn what an AusAlert sounds like, visit ausalert.gov.au
