Why call 55?

When you call Switchboard at 55 to activate an emergency code or alert your call goes to a separate dedicated phone line for the quickest response possible. If you reach out to Switchboard by other means you may end up in the queue on hold, taking up valuable time.

Data indicates that many callers are not using the 55 line to activate emergency codes. 80% of all Code Yellow Search activation requests and 25% of all Alert 99 & Alert 99 Trauma calls were made using the generic Switchboard line in 2023.
