24 Hour Medical and Emergency Numbers

Some satellite phones cannot call 1300, 13 or 1800 prefix numbers in Australia.

The list of numbers below can be called from a satellite phone.

Please note that the 00 may be substituted with the + symbol.

We recommend that you test your satellite phone and familiarise yourself with its
operation by calling a non-emergency service land line number
(e.g. your own home number) with either format before attempting to call any of these numbers in an emergency.


Please check with local police stations in outback communities for their
direct dial numbers and hours of operation before your trip.
