A new national warning system called AusAlert will be used across Australia from October 2026.

AusAlert will be able to send warning messages to your mobile device as push notifications during:
• Natural hazards such as bushfires, floods, and tsunamis
• Public health emergencies
• Biosecurity incidents
• Security threats

Before the system is introduced, it will be tested.

In Victoria, a local test will happen in the Geelong suburbs of Highton and Belmont on Thursday 18 June at 2 pm, followed by a national test on Monday 27 July at 2 pm.

More about the tests and rollout of AusAlert will be shared on the VicEmergency page in the coming weeks.

CFA South West will be conducting a planned burn on Berrybank-Werneth Road and Foxhow-Rokewood Road at Duverney and Berrybank this week. 🚒

Traffic management will be in place, please allow extra travel time as some delays are expected. ⏳
Planned burns reduce fuel loads and help limit the intensity and spread of future grass and bushfires — they’re a key part of keeping our community safe. 🌾🔥
