• SMS during unplanned outages caused by severe weather, falling trees or digging near underground powerlines, 
• 24/7 urgent enquiries number – 1800 818 832.

 
If you or someone at your home relies on any of the following equipment, you’re eligible to register as a life support customer: 

• An oxygen concentrator,
• an intermittent peritoneal dialysis machine,
• a kidney dialysis machine, 
• a chronic positive airways pressure respirator, 
• Crigler-Najjar syndrome phototherapy equipment,
