  • Mobile operators have backed the modernisation of Australia’s Triple Zero framework. With a design developed during an era of fixed line-based voice services, Triple Zero should be cautiously evolved to support future access pathways and multi-modal methods of contacting emergency services, the three MNOs have told the government.

  • The National Farmers Federation has urged the Triple Zero review to consider how to adapt the existing framework to support new technologies, particularly SMS-based access to emergency services. The NFF has also called for access to Triple Zero to be a “core capability” of the Universal Outdoor Mobile Obligation.

  • The First Nations Digital Inclusion Advisory Group has warned that the reliance on terrestrial networks for Triple Zero access has left many Indigenous communities in a disadvantaged position.

  • Australia imported $5.19bn of telecommunications equipment from five leading source countries in 2024–25, according to a Department of Industry supply-chain assessment released under freedom of information laws.
