Triple-zero services still working in ACT

THE Optus national outage is currently impacting some ACT government phone lines, however the ACT Emergency Services Triple-Zero (000) services remain functional.

Emergency Services says customers with Optus mobile phones can still make emergency calls in coverage areas from other mobile providers. Emergency calls are connected through any available carrier (Optus, Telstra, Vodaphone).

The SES line 132 500 is also currently operational.

For non-emergency enquiries for the ACT Emergency Services Agency, ACT Ambulance Service, ACT Fire & Rescue, ACT Rural Fire Service, and ACT State Emergency Service can be emailed at [email protected].
