Threats

Monday 1 February, 2016

Nine schools in New South Wales received bomb threat calls on Monday 1st February, 2016.[1] The calls were reported to police as having been delivered by a computerised voice, pertaining to violent threats such as shootings and bombings. Most of these schools evacuated students, however some chose to place students in lockdown instead.[2] NSW Police spokespersons stated to media that the threats were unlikely to be related to terrorism, and that they were of low likelihood to be substantive.[1]

Tuesday 2 February, 2016

17 Victorian schools received similar calls the following Tuesday, which were similar to the New South Wales schools' threats. Again, it was reported that the threats were delivered over the phone via a computerised voice. The substance of the threats was also similar, however it has been reported that threats of chemical attacks were also delivered to these schools.[1]

A further five schools in the Australian Capital Territory also received similar threats throughout Tuesday. Police promptly searched those schools involved, before releasing a statement that nothing of suspicion had been found to indicate that the threats were substantial.

10 schools in Queensland also received threats on Tuesday, before being evacuated.[3]

Wednesday, 3 February, 2016

A further three schools in Victoria, seven schools in Queensland received threatening calls on Wednesday and were evacuated.[3]


44 separate incidents took place in the course of the delivery of the threats at a range of schools, in the first week of the threats being made.[1] These included nine schools in New South Wales, 20 schools in Victoria, 10 schools in Queensland, and five schools in the Australian Capital Territory.
