HEADS UP: AUSALERT TEST 📳🚨
The AusAlert National Test will take place at 2pm on Monday, July 27, 2026.
As part of the test, compatible mobile devices will vibrate and sound a siren for about 10 seconds from 2pm. The test will override silent mode and/or Do Not Disturb settings.
There is no need to be alarmed, and no action is required. This is only a test to make sure the emergency alert system is working properly for use if and when it is needed.
For more information, visit: ausalert.gov.au

Sounds like they’re taking the 1st stage of tracking your every move.
For an ex copper, I used to think Pat was one of the good guys....now it looks like he has been made to fall into line with the propaganda.
I would like to know why all of a sudden they decided to do this? Do they know something we don't? Apparently it cost $182 million. Is that correct?
My hubby is on nights. So will be putting it on airplane mode to not get disturbed
I mentioned it to hubby just now and was surprised he hadn't known about it. It'll be a shock to him on Monday!
The problem = trust factor 0
If it blasts through my bluetooth hearing aids, like on hold calls, i wont be happy, Pat!
It will frighten crap out of everyone.
So this alert will sound when you are in an affected area but yet it doesn’t track you….how does that work exactly 🤔 obviously there is some form of tracking for them to know that your in an affected area especially when you don’t live in that area 🤷♀️
Phone will be off 👏
Just heard on tv if the phone is on airplane mode it won't work. So mine will be on that
Sounds like another BOM fail to me. Which government relo scored the contract to do it?
Gee thanks for telling me this. I somehow missed the millions of other ads, paid for with tax payer $, that the government is blasting out. P.S I will be making my phine inoperable for this.
I thought to RBA told government to stop spending WTH!!!!
Don’t trust the Govt
The last thing I want is for this to happen whilst at the dentist! My phone will be turned off!
And the emergency services were not even consulted - so some of them have decided to opt out! 🤔 sounds like a complete waste of time, money and resources! 🤷♀️
I have opted to turn off the capacity to allow my phone to be used as a tool to create fear. I certainly didn't opt into the test!

Not happening in my area. We are all on wifi calling. 😁
