Victoria Ambulance have absolutely had it with people calling triple zero unnecessarily and have outed some of the more ridiculous reasons people have dialled the emergency number when they definitely shouldn’t have. Buckle up because some of these are simply wild.
In the last six months, almost 1 in 5 calls to Victoria’s triple zero service were not emergencies. In fact, the number is around 90,000. And out of those 90,000, some people have truly displayed a new level of entitlement, calling triple zero for even the most mundane forms of assistance. Like snatching a lift home.
