How do I report a missing person?

If you are able to, you may attend a police station to report a missing person.  If you are unable to attend a police station, you should phone the Police Assistance Line on 131 444 and the operator you speak to will arrange for police to come and see you.

When you file a missing person report it will help police if you can bring or have with you the following information:

• A recent photograph of the missing person
• A list of the names, addresses and phone numbers of friends and associates
• Likely destinations eg. Favourite places, work locations or places with past connections
• Any medical requirements or medications they need
• A full description of the missing person including height, weight, colour of eyes and hair
• Bank account details.
