AusAlert will be ready to use in October 2026, but before it launches, a test alert will be sent on Monday 27 July 2026, to all mobile devices in Australia at 2pm (AEST).
Devices will vibrate and play a siren-like warning sound for about 10 seconds. An AusAlert message will appear on device screens. It will clearly say it is a test.
