The BEN system improves emergency response times by installing signs with unique codes at beach access points. These codes help emergency services quickly locate you during shark sightings, attacks or other emergencies.
How to use BEN Signs
- In an emergency, dial 000 and quote the code on the nearest BEN sign.
- If possible, have someone wait at the sign for responders.
How it works
Each sign has a unique code linked to GPS coordinates, enabling emergency services to find your exact location.
Sign locations
BEN signs are at beach access points along WA’s coastline, including Two Rocks Marina, Yanchep Surf Life Saving Club, and Mindarie Keys Marina within the City of Wanneroo.
Tip: Take note or a photo of the BEN code at your favorite beach to assist in emergencies.
