A new national warning system called AusAlert will be used across Australia from October 2026.

AusAlert will be able to send warning messages to your mobile device as push notifications during:
• Natural hazards such as bushfires, floods, and tsunamis
• Public health emergencies
• Biosecurity incidents
• Security threats

Before the system is introduced, it will be tested.

In Victoria, a local test will happen in the Geelong suburbs of Highton and Belmont on Thursday 18 June at 2 pm, followed by a national test on Monday 27 July at 2 pm.

More about the tests and rollout of AusAlert will be shared on the VicEmergency page in the coming weeks.

🔔 Smoke Alarm Safety Tips

• Replace 9‑volt batteries every year. 🔋

If your smoke alarm uses a 9‑volt battery, change the battery annually and replace the entire unit every 10 years to a lithium powered unit.

• Install additional smoke alarms where needed. 🏠

Add alarms in all bedrooms and in areas where battery‑powered devices are charged to increase early warning coverage.

Consider getting hardwired, interconnected alarm's installed- when one goes off, they all go off.

• Clean your smoke alarms regularly. 🧽

Dust or gently vacuum around the outside of the alarm’s cover to keep sensors clear and working properly.

• Pay attention to warning beeps. 🔉

If your smoke alarm emits a single, occasional beep, the battery may need replacing. If the beeping continues after changing the battery, the unit may be faulty and must be replaced.

Only working smoke alarms save lives.

🔥 Key Fire Safety Essentials 🔥

Fire is dangerous, but there’s a lot you can do to protect yourself, your family and your home.

1. Install and maintain smoke alarms:
Make sure you have working smoke alarms on every level of your home. Test them regularly and replace batteries and units as needed.

2. Identify and remove fire hazards:
Check for overloaded power boards, damaged cords, unattended candles, and clutter near heat sources. Keep flammable items away from stoves, heaters and open flames.

3. Create and practice a home fire escape plan:
Plan at least two ways out of every room. Choose a safe meeting place outside. Practice the plan with everyone in the household.

4. If a fire occurs: get out, stay out, and call 000:
Never go back inside for belongings, instead go to your safe meeting place.
