Emergency+ app with GPS
The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has released a new app called Emergency+. It's a free app that uses your phone's GPS to help give Triple Zero (000) your exact location when you need emergency help.
This is an initiative of the Australian Government and State and Territory Emergency Services.
You can download the app from the App Store on your mobile device or by visiting www.emergencyplus.com.au.
