This data, combined with basic connection and operation statistics are used to estimate the distribution and utilisation of this content and to ensure correct operation of the Application.

App Limitations
Emergency Plus uses your device’s inbuilt GPS and platform-selected mapping to display your location. In cases where an inaccurate street address is displayed, generally this is related to hardware issues or your smartphone’s ability to receive sufficient signals from the Global Navigation Satellite System, to determine an accurate location. Please note Emergency Plus now gives you the option to drop a ‘what3words’ pin at a specific location, to improve the accuracy in reporting an incident by relaying the selected what3words identifier and/or the associated latitude/longitude co-ordinates to the emergency call-taker.
Important – if there is no mobile coverage on any network, you will not be able to call the Triple Zero (000) service via a mobile telephone.

Accessibility Compliance
Emergency Plus acknowledges the importance of accessibility for all users, including those with disabilities. Currently, Emergency Plus does not meet all WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) for individuals with vision impairments. However, we are committed to continuous improvement and upcoming upgrades to the app will include enhancements to the design to ensure better compatibility with screen readers, thereby improving accessibility for users with vision impairments.
Additionally, for individuals who are deaf, hard of hearing, or have a speech impairment, Triple Zero (000) can be accessed via the National Relay Service available through the information screen or accessed directly at https://nrschat.nrscall.gov.au. This service facilitates communication between individuals using various communication methods, ensuring that everyone can access emergency services effectively.
