🚨 If something unexpected happened at home, would your family know exactly who to call?

As parents, we spend so much time preparing for the everyday moments — packing lunches, managing routines, organising school and childcare — but emergencies don’t wait until we’re ready.

A child’s sudden illness, a fall, a household accident, a power outage or an unexpected situation can happen in seconds. In those moments, having the right information within easy reach can make a stressful situation feel a little more manageable.

💛 A simple emergency contact list on your fridge could help your family respond faster when it matters most.

From Triple Zero (000) and your family GP to childcare contacts, trusted neighbours, the Poison Information Centre, schools and essential household services, discover the important numbers every Australian family should keep on hand.

This practical guide will help you:
✅ Create a family emergency contact plan
✅ Teach children when and how to call for help
✅ Prepare babysitters and carers
✅ Know what information to keep accessible
✅ Build confidence for those moments no parent wants to imagine

Because being prepared isn’t about living in fear — it’s about giving your family the best chance to stay calm, safe and supported when the unexpected happens.
