TRIPLE Zero has been affected by Telstra Network problems.
NSW Police released a statement early Friday morning saying they were aware of an intermittent Telstra Network issue affecting the receipt of Triple Zero phone calls.
Some reports suggest the network outage was caused after a cable was cut between Orange and Bowral around 2am.
The outage is affecting calls in NSW, Victoria and Western Australia.
If requiring assistance from any of the emergency services, members of the public are urged to contact Triple Zero (‘000’) in the first instance.
If unable to get through on Triple Zero, callers requiring any of the emergency services should call Police Assistance Line on 131 444.
Police stressed calls should only be made for genuine emergencies only.
