Raise your hand if you could use some extra sunshine 🙋

The winter solstice, which is the shortest day of the year, is nearly behind us. As we head into the depths of winter (thankfully with some more daylight), now is a great time to take stock around the house.

Here are five ways to stay on top of your home's fire safety:

🧺 Clean your dryer's lint filter after every load
🍳 Wipe away grease from grills, fans and cooking surfaces
🔌 Make sure your powerboards are not overloaded
🫸 Keep curtains, clothes and toys 1 metre from heaters
🛌 Don't leave electric blankets on for more than 30 minutes

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.
