If someone is in immediate danger of harming themselves or others, please call 111.

Calling 111 connects you to emergency services like Police, Fire, and Ambulance. This number is used when there's a serious risk of injury or property damage, or a crime is being committed or has just been committed.

You can register for the 111 TXT service, which allows you to text 111 if you have difficulty talking or hearing on the phone New Zealand Police.

The emergency operator will be able to understand your situation and connect you with the appropriate service.

When you dial 111, your call is answered by a trained professional who will ask some questions about the patient's condition. This process, called 'triage,' helps determine the best course of action to get the person the care they need as quickly and effectively as possible.
