Triple Zero (000) is Australia's primary telephone number to call for assistance in life threatening or time critical emergency situations. Dialling 112 directs you to the same Triple Zero (000) call service and does not give your call priority over Triple
Zero (000).</p>

112 is an international standard emergency number which can only be dialled on a<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><em>digital mobile phone</em>. It is accepted as a secondary international emergency number in some parts of the world, including Australia,
and can be dialled in areas of GSM network coverage with the call automatically translated to that country’s emergency number. It does not require a simcard or pin number to make the call, however phone coverage must be available (any carrier) for the call
to proceed.</p>

There is no advantage to dialling 112 over Triple Zero (000). Calls to 112 do not go to the head of the queue for emergency services, and it is not true that it is the only number that will work on a mobile phone.</p>

Dialling 112 from a fixed line telephone in Australia (including payphones) will not connect you to the emergency call service as it is only available from digital mobile phones.<br>

<pre wrap="">112 is taught about in lots of places. If you do a first aid course
you will almost certainly also be taught about 112 as part of how
to contact authorities to get help to you using a mobile.
A large proportion of the Australian population knows about 112.
