A national test of AusAlert on Monday 27 July 2026

Quote:

Introducing AusAlert

AusAlert is a new national warning system that uses the latest technology to send emergency messages to compatible mobile devices.

It’s a fast and reliable way to help people be informed and better prepared during local and national emergencies.

Quote:

AusAlert national test

Watch the 30-second TV commercial that introduces AusAlert and explains what to expect for
the upcoming national test on Monday 27 July 2026.

https://www.ausalert.gov.au/

And after AusAlert is rolled out nationally,
all Australians everywhere, are going to be much, much safer.

We know this is true.

Because our Federal Government talking heads have told us, it will be so.

Confidence in political LEADERSHIP.

BAAAAAH

Will be interesting to see if my call blocker app (Calls Blacklist) stops this alert today. If it does it will still log the number so I'll know.

At the moment it only allows numbers on my contact list and any 08 (WA) numbers to get through.

All other numbers (including Private and mobiles) are blocked to (hopefully) annoy the heck out of debt collectors in Victoria who are chasing the previous owner(s) of my number.

Even with my call blocker on because it doesn't show as an SMS with a phone number attached to it. Just a message in the middle of the screen accompanied by the alert sound, of course. I sure hope the spammers and scammers don't figure out how to do this.

I think it's only a matter of time.

Anyway, yeah, I got the message on the lock screen and the sound lasted for 5 seconds.
