If you’ve ever needed to call Alinta Energy, you already know the challenge: one number serves multiple states, different hours apply on weekends, and emergencies redirect you to a local distributor.

- For immediate gas or electricity hazards, use this number first.
- Dial 13 37 02.
- Press 1 when prompted.
- Describe the emergency to the operator.
General enquiries phone line
- The same number — 13 37 02 — connects you to the general support team during business hours (Alinta Energy – Customer Service Charter).
- Expect help with billing, plan changes, and account questions.

“Our team is available six days a week to take calls and answer questions.”
— Alinta Energy Customer support page
Alinta channels every customer — residential or business — through a single national number for emergencies and general help. The real distinction isn’t the number; it’s what happens after you dial: press 1 for real danger, wait for business hours for billing.
The pattern: Alinta uses one number but routes calls based on purpose – a design that saves time for the caller but requires knowing the right menu option.
What are Alinta Energy’s customer service hours?
Weekday hours
- Monday to Friday: 8:00 am to 6:00 pm AEST (Alinta Energy – Customer Service Charter).
- Call centres operate in Perth CBD, the Latrobe Valley (VIC), and Melbourne CBD.
Saturday hours
- Saturday: 9:00 am to 12:00 pm AEST.
- Limited window, so call early if you need weekend help.
Sunday and public holiday availability
- Closed Sundays and public holidays.
- For outages or gas leaks on these days, use the emergency option (press 1) on 13 37 02.
“We answer phone calls and emails as soon as possible during normal office hours.”
— Alinta Energy Customer Service Charter
The catch: the same 13 37 02 number that helps you on Saturday mornings is the only line you’ll get after hours — and pressing 1 is the only way to reach a human outside the general support window.
What is the Alinta Energy contact number for Victoria?
Victorian emergency contacts
- Dial 13 37 02 and press 1 for emergencies — same national line, 24/7 (Alinta Energy – Customer support page).
- If you smell gas and all appliances are off, switch off the main gas supply tap and call ACTO Faults and Emergencies on 13 13 52 (Alinta Energy – Help and support).
Victorian general enquiries
- Same main number 13 37 02 during business hours: Mon–Fri 8am–6pm, Sat 9am–12pm AEST.
- Victoria follows AEST, so daylight saving doesn’t affect the stated hours.
Local distributor numbers in Victoria
- Your electricity distributor (not Alinta) handles power outages in your area. Find the number on the top right of your bill (Alinta Energy – Customer Service Charter).
Victorian customers have two emergency paths: Alinta’s national line for immediate danger, and the distributor’s line (from the bill) for area-specific outages. Mixing them up delays help — check your bill before you need it.
The implication: Victorians must distinguish between life-threatening hazards and local power faults to reach the right responder quickly.
How do I contact Alinta Energy in Western Australia?
WA emergency and faults
- Call 13 37 02, press 1. WA customers use the same national emergency line 24/7.
- Alinta’s head office is at 158 Edward St, Perth WA 6000 (Alinta Energy homepage).
WA general enquiries
- Use 13 37 02 during business hours, or call the dedicated WA Assist hotline: 1800 244 355 (Alinta Energy – WA support page).
- Hours follow AEST despite the time zone difference — WA customers should account for the 2‑hour time shift.
Alinta Energy Assist location in Perth
- Walk-in centre at 158 Edward St, Perth.
- Check opening hours before visiting: the office is not open 24/7.
“Alinta Energy’s call centres are based in Perth CBD, the Latrobe Valley in Victoria, and Melbourne CBD.”
— Alinta Energy Customer Service Charter
The trade‑off: WA customers get a local hotline (1800 244 355) for general issues, but emergency calls still route through the national number — and the time difference means weekday support starts later in WA if you call from the east.
What is the Alinta Energy contact number for Brisbane and Queensland?
Queensland emergency contacts
- Same main number 13 37 02 works for all Queensland customers. Press 1 for emergencies, 24/7 (Alinta Energy – Customer support page).
- For gas emergencies, follow the same gas-tap shutdown procedure and call ACTO on 13 13 52.
Brisbane‑specific contact info
- Brisbane customers use the national number — there is no separate Brisbane line.
- General enquiries: same 13 37 02 during business hours AEST.
QLD distributor contact
- Local distributor number printed on the top right of your bill for outage reporting (Alinta Energy – Customer Service Charter).
- Queensland customers need to know their distributor (e.g., Energex) for after-hours power faults.
Queensland households in storm‑prone areas benefit most from saving their distributor’s number now — when the lights go out at 2 am, Alinta’s national line can connect you, but the distributor dispatches the truck.
What this means: Queenslanders who store the distributor number ahead of time will get faster help during outages than those who rely solely on Alinta’s national line.
What is the Alinta Energy contact number for New South Wales?
NSW emergency line
- Dial 13 37 02 and press 1 for emergencies. Available 24/7 for NSW customers (Alinta Energy – Customer support page).
NSW general enquiries
- Same number 13 37 02 during business hours: Mon–Fri 8am–6pm, Sat 9am–12pm AEST.
- NSW follows AEST, so no time‑zone offset.
NSW distributor contact
- Your local distributor (Ausgrid, Endeavour Energy, or Essential Energy) handles power outages and meter faults.
- Find the specific number on the top right of your bill (Alinta Energy – Customer Service Charter).
The pattern across all states: Alinta’s 13 37 02 is the universal front door, but for physical infrastructure faults you need the distributor — and that number is on your bill, not on Alinta’s website.
