06.01.2022 Minister for Justice, Michael Keenan, today launched the Microsoft Windows version of the Emergency+ app for smartphones, extending this potentially lifesaving app to virtually all Australian smartphones. Since its release in December 2013, Emergency+ has been downloaded more than 270,000 times. The Microsoft Windows version of the app has the same functionality as the iOS and Android versions. It also contains the emergency contact numbers and a short explanation of whe...n to call non-emergency numbers such as the Police Assistance Line (131 444) and the SES national number (132 500). This helps members of the public to dial the correct phone number and reduce the number of non-urgent calls to Triple Zero (000). Congratulations Fire and Rescue NSW, NSW Police, the triple zero awareness work group, 360 Entertainment and Microsoft for your efforts.
