MISSING PERSONS
Every year
approximately 30,000 people are reported missing in Australia, that’s
one every 18 minutes. While over 95% are located within a month, the
impact on families, friends and the missing persons themselves can be
devastating.
Going missing is not a crime and you do not have to wait 24 hours before reporting a person missing.
The aim of police is to confirm that people reported as missing are safe and well. If you have any information that may assist in locating a missing person or would like to report a missing person.
- Contact your local police station.
- Contact the National Missing Persons Coordination Centre (1800 000 634)
- Contact Crime Stoppers (1800 333 000)
To report a sighting of a missing person complete the Missing Persons Sighting Form.
