Missing persons units

State and territory police are responsible for the investigation of missing persons

When filing a missing persons report, you should attend your local police station in person or call 131 444 for police assistance if the matter is non-life threatening. In the event of a life threatening emergency please call 000.

Each state and territory has a dedicated missing persons unit who may also be involved in the investigation, or provide advice to your case officer/local police.
