We’re testing Australia’s new national warning system, AusAlert, across Australia tomorrow as part of the AusAlert national test.

⏰ Set a reminder for 5 minutes before the test time in your location so you are prepared in case you receive it.

The national test will be sent to all compatible mobile devices in Australia, which includes most mobile phones, some smart watches and some tablets. Apple iPads don’t receive AusAlerts.

See the test time in your location below:
🟢 Australian Capital Territory – 2pm AEST
🟡 New South Wales – 2pm AEST
🟢 Queensland – 2pm AEST
🟡 Tasmania – 2pm AEST
🟢 Victoria – 2pm AEST
🟡 Northern Territory – 1.30pm ACST
🟢 South Australia (including Broken Hill, NSW) – 1.30pm ACST
🟡 Western Australia – 12pm AWST
🟢 Christmas Island – 11am CXT.

📱 The test will be a Critical Alert. Your device will vibrate and play a loud siren-like sound for around 10 seconds before stopping, even if it is on ‘silent’ or 'do not disturb'. The message will clearly identify itself as a test and no action is required. If you don’t receive the AusAlert national test, this is fine too, as it’s just a test.

📅 Save this post and set a reminder now so you know when to expect the AusAlert national test in your area.

It’s care from nurses who know your name. 💛

There has been an increase in reports of scammers impersonating police officers by using official QPS phone numbers, in an attempt to obtain personal details to conduct fraudulent activity.

Offenders hide their real phone number while displaying a different number indicating they’re from a trusted organisation such as QPS.

Police across Australia have also seen a rise in ‘Chinese authority’ scams, which target members of the Chinese community, particularly international students, asking them to transfer money or cryptocurrency.

✨⭐️ Some days, getting out of bed is a victory. Other days, it’s answering that one message or going for a short walk.
We don’t talk enough about the little wins—but they matter. They build momentum. They remind us that progress isn’t always loud or visible. Sometimes it’s quiet, steady, and deeply personal.
If today feels heavy, be gentle with yourself. You don’t need to have it all figured out. Just take the next small step. Then another.

Celebrate the small things today—they count more than you know. ✨⭐️
