Good to Know
- In Noosa (Queensland, Australia), always call 000 for a genuine police, fire, or ambulance emergency — it's free from any phone.
- If you're calling from a mobile with no signal on your own carrier, 000 and 112 will still try to connect via any available network, but if there's truly no coverage from any provider, neither number will work — worth knowing given Noosa's more remote hinterland/bushland areas.
- For flooding, storm damage, or fallen trees (common during the Queensland wet season/cyclone season), call the SES on 132 500 rather than 000.
- Downloading the free Emergency+ app before you need it is genuinely useful for travelers, since it can hand emergency operators your GPS coordinates if you're unsure of your exact location — handy for Noosa National Park trails or the Noosa Everglades.
- Noosa's only hospital, Noosa Hospital in Noosaville, is a private facility — it has a 24/7 Emergency Department but travel insurance or the ability to pay is important since it is not a public hospital.
- For true major trauma (serious accidents, severe injuries), Queensland Ambulance / retrieval services generally bypass Noosa Hospital and transfer directly to Sunshine Coast University Hospital in Birtinya, about 40km away — worth knowing this is a real drive, not a local option, if you're assessing emergency response times.
- Always call 000 for ambulance/police/fire in a genuine emergency anywhere in Australia.

Important Warning
Calling 911 will NOT connect you to emergency services in Australia — it is a US/Canada number and does not reroute to 000.
Mobile Secondary Number
- Number
- 112
- Details
- You can also call 112 (the international emergency number) from a mobile phone as an alternative way to reach the same 000 emergency call service. It can only be dialled from a digital mobile phone, not a fixed landline, and does not give any priority over dialling 000 directly.

- Details
- National Poisons Information Centre line for poisoning-related advice, available 24/7 across Australia including Queensland.
Non Urgent Police Queensland
- Number
- 13 14 44
- Name
- Policelink
- Details
- For non-urgent assistance or to report a property-related crime in Queensland, call Policelink on 13 14 44 rather than 000.
State Emergency Service Flood Storm
- Number
- 132 500
- Name
- Queensland SES (State Emergency Service)
- Details
- For non-life-threatening flood and storm emergency assistance (damaged roof, rising flood water, fallen trees, storm damage) call Queensland SES on 132 500. You cannot reach the SES by dialling 000 — 000 only connects to police, fire, or ambulance.
Text Relay For Deaf Hearing Speech Impaired
- Number
- 106
- Details
- If you have a speech or hearing impairment, you can use the 106 text-based national relay service, which can only be used with a teletypewriter (TTY) or a device for the deaf. You cannot contact emergency services by SMS text message.
Regional Trauma Referral
- Distance Disclosed
- Yes
- Nearest Major Trauma Centre
- Sunshine Coast University Hospital, Birtinya, QLD — roughly 40 km / 30–45 minutes' drive from central Noosa, and outside this app's normal 10-minute proximity radius, but included here because it is the actual destination for serious trauma cases from Noosa.
- Note
- Noosa itself has no public hospital and no designated major trauma centre. For major trauma (serious car accidents, severe falls, major burns, spinal injury, etc.), Queensland's ambulance and retrieval system transfers patients directly to a higher-level trauma centre rather than routing them through Noosa Hospital first.
Pharmacies
- Overview
- Noosa has multiple pharmacies serving the local community; specific prices and current operating hours were not retrieved during research.
