In the right hands, Useful. In the wrong hands, Lethal.
National Security Hotline: 1800 123 400, or Email:hotline@nationalsecurity.gov.au If you see people handling or purchasing chemicals in a way that doesn't seem right, call the National Security Hotline: 1800 123 400, or Email: hotline@nationalsecurity.gov.au

The Australian Government, in partnership with State and Territory governments, is working closely with industry to keep Australia safe from terrorism.  Chemicals have been used in terrorist attacks throughout the world.  These chemicals are commonly available in domestic, agricultural, veterinary, industrial and beauty products.

In many cases, terrorists acquire chemicals from the same locations as the general public. For business, your vigilance in ‘knowing your customer’ may make the difference in preventing a terrorist attack. The general community is also being encouraged ‘if you suspect it report it’.

If you have seen something unusual and wish to report it, please contact the
National Security Hotline on
1800 123 400 or hotline@nationalsecurity.gov.au
