Extreme heat is Australia’s deadliest natural hazard—it causes more deaths each year than floods or bushfires. During heatwaves, hundreds of lives are lost, and many of those are older people.

With extreme heat warnings across most Australian states, it's vital to know the warning signs of heat-related health conditions.

Keep an eye out for these symptoms in yourself and others. If you notice any of the above, act as early as possible and seek medical assistance by calling 000.
