About
Triple Zero (000) is Australia's primary emergency number for requesting assistance from police, fire, or ambulance services. There are many examples, from both Australia and overseas, where children as young as four years old have played a pivotal role in saving lives and property by calling Triple Zero and providing the information needed to obtain assistance from the emergency services. Knowing when and how to call Triple Zero is an important life skill that all children should learn.
The Triple Zero Kids’ Challenge is a comprehensive set of educational resources that provide children with the essential knowledge and skills they need to become competent, confident and responsible users of the Triple Zero emergency service number.
Questions, concerns and feedback
While the learning activities directly address the very serious topics of medical emergencies, major accidents, fires and crime, they have been designed to be as fun and engaging as possible. They have also been rigorously tested and evaluated among the intended audience. However, should you have any questions relating to any of the content in this resource, do not hesitate to contact your local emergency service agency.
We also welcome feedback on your experiences in playing the game or using the Teachers resources, so that it can be improved for future users. All feedback can be forwarded to the Triple Zero Awareness Working Group at triplezero@fire.nsw.gov.au
