Emergency Action Plan
Prioritise Your Safety

- Make sure you and those around you are safe, and check for any injuries
- If it is an emergency call triple zero (000)
Should I drive my car?
After a car accident or another type of incident, you should only attempt to drive your car if it's in a safe condition.
You should not drive your car if:
- Any of the airbags have deployed
- Any fluid (including petrol or radiator fluid) is leaking from the car
- Any of the doors, bonnet or boot needs to be secured to remain closed or are unable to be opened.
- The steering has been affected, meaning you're unable to steer your car straight or around a corner.
- You think it's unsafe to drive
- If your car isn’t drivable, you can call us on 1300 885 996 and we can arrange to get your car towed.
