National Relay Service

The National Relay Service is a telephone access service available to all Australians. It enables text and voice telephony users to communicate with each other. If you are deaf, or have a hearing or speech impairment and you use a teletypewriter (TTY) or a computer with a modem, you can contact anyone in the wider telephone network through the NRS.

Similarly, the NRS can be used by anyone in the community to communicate with those who use a TTY or computer with modem. The NRS also has an emergency
service which enables access to Police, Fire or Ambulance by dialling 106 through a TTY or computer with modem.

For more information contact the NRS on 1800 555 630 (TTY), 1800 555 660 (voice) or 1800 555 690 (fax) or visit their website National Relay Service.
