Call 000 if you are unsafe.

If you call 000 and can't talk, the operator the call will be transferred to an interactive voice response (IVR). The IVR asks you to press '55' if you require emergency help. If you don't press '55' after being asked three times, your call will be disconnected. If you press '55', you will be connected to the police. If you cannot speak, the police will attempt to call you back and might also send a patrol car to your address.

Police will use the address for the service (which would usually be either your home or billing address). This means it is important to make sure that your telco has the most up-to-date address details for your phone services.

106 can only be used with a teletypewriter (TTY) or a device for the deaf. 106 is a text-based emergency service number for people who are deaf or who have a hearing or speech impairment
