Missing Persons

You don't have to wait 24 hours to report someone missing.

If you're concerned for someone's safety or welfare and you don't know where they are, file a missing persons report at your local police station.

A missing person can be anyone: a child, an adult or a senior.

Over 98% of people reported missing are located, and almost all these people are found alive and well.

Someone I know is missing

If you need to report a missing person, visit your local police station. See what types of information to take with you.

From your report, state or territory police will take the lead on investigating. Keep records along the way, including case numbers.

When a relative or friend is reported missing, there's a large emotional impact. We provide support to families and friends of missing persons.
