Health and safety
Staying safe and well in Melbourne.
- Melbourne is generally considered safe, with high-quality healthcare.
- The phone number for emergency services (police, fire or ambulance) is 000.
- Residents use Medicare, the public health system; visitors should carry travel insurance. A pharmacy is a chemist.
- You drive on the left; power is 230V with Type I plugs.
- The weather is changeable; summers can bring fire-danger days, so sun protection matters even on cool days.
