📱 TEST ALERT COMING TO PORT LINCOLN
AusAlert is being tested in Port Lincoln at 11:00 am on Saturday 20 June 2026.
AusAlert is Australia’s new national emergency alerting capability. It will be used to send urgent official messages to compatible mobile devices during emergencies.
As part of testing, compatible mobile phones, tablets and smart watches in the Port Lincoln area may receive a Priority Alert. Depending on your device and settings, the alert may vibrate and play a loud siren-like sound for around 10 seconds.
This is only a test. No action is required.
If receiving the test alert could be disruptive or cause you or someone you know to feel unsafe, visit ausalert.gov.au to learn more about the test and how to manage Priority Alert settings on compatible devices.
