🚨AusAlert is a new national emergency warning system being introduced by the Australian Government. It is designed to send urgent information to compatible mobile devices during emergencies such as bushfires, floods, cyclones, tsunamis, public health events, security threats and biosecurity incidents. The system is planned to go live on 1 October 2026 and will be tested in selected communities before launch

📍Liverpool has been selected for community testing.
At around 4:00 pm on Wednesday 17 June 2026, some people in the Liverpool area may receive a test alert on their mobile phone, tablet or smart watch. The alert is part of system checks to ensure messages are delivered correctly before the national rollout.

🤳The test alert is not an SMS or text message.
It will appear as a notification on the device screen and may interrupt calls or apps. The message will trigger a loud siren-like sound and vibration lasting about 10 seconds. Users will need to clear the notification to remove it from the screen.

Compatible devices include selected iPhones and Android phones and tablets. iPhone 11 and later running iOS 26.4 or later and Android devices running Android 12 or later are expected to receive AusAlerts. People do not need to take any action when receiving the test. In a real emergency, the alert will include details about the type of hazard, location, severity and instructions to follow.

❗Important ❗
If someone receives the alert while driving, they should not interact with the device and should only read the message when it is safe and legal to do so. If a person does not receive the test, it may be due to device compatibility, coverage, or being outside the alert area. No action is required in that case.

Mother’s Day can be a mix of things for a lot of people.

Today we celebrate the mums who help us every day, doing the quiet, unseen work that keeps everything together. The ones who are tired but keep going anyway 💖

We also think of those who are missing their mum today, and those mums who are no longer here but still loved and thought about daily 🌹

& to the women who stepped in when they didn’t have to... aunties, grandmothers, friends, carers.
Thank you! You’ve shaped lives in ways that matter more than you probably realise 💐
