📢 Important Information for Occom Customers
On 27 July 2026, Australia will conduct a nationwide test of AusAlert, Australia's new national emergency warning system. The system is designed to deliver urgent emergency warnings to compatible mobile phones and SIM-enabled devices during emergencies and disasters.
As part of the national test, some customers may receive a test alert on their mobile device. The alert is an official government test and does not indicate that there is an emergency occurring nearby. No action is required if you receive the test notification.
What you need to know:
✅ The alert is part of a scheduled national test of AusAlert.
✅ Compatible mobile phones and SIM-enabled devices in Australia may receive the test alert.
✅ Receiving the alert does not mean you are in danger.
✅ No action is required in response to the alert.
✅ The purpose of the test is to help ensure Australia's emergency warning capabilities are functioning correctly should they be required during a genuine emergency.
Important Safety Information
The information provided to service providers notes that AusAlert may increase risk for people experiencing violence, particularly where alerts could reveal the presence of safety devices. If it is not safe for someone to receive AusAlerts on a particular device, they should consider keeping the device switched off or in aeroplane mode except when needed.
