Queensland police say they are checking on people who attempted to contact emergency services through “Triple Zero” during a nationwide Telstra outage. ABC Australia reports that police confirmed multiple emergency calls across the state failed to connect. Other outlets report the wider scale of the issue: the Australian reports that around 300 Triple Zero calls failed during the outage, with 17 of those failed calls coming from Queensland. Multiple sources say urgent welfare checks are being carried out for those affected. The coverage also notes concerns about a potential second problem with telco services, which could further affect emergency call connectivity. While the articles describe failed call attempts and subsequent follow-up by police, they do not provide specific outcomes of the welfare checks or the exact locations of affected callers. Overall, the reporting indicates that emergency call failures occurred during the Telstra outage, prompting police in Queensland to contact or verify the welfare of callers whose calls did not go through.
