The mobile service providers should be doing the SMS notification as a public service. The cost to the service provider of a single text message is negligible (especially if they can stagger them to avoid overloading the network) but can potentially save a life.
The service providers have the geographically cross-referenced databases. It was ALWAYS possible for them to do this. It should be a condition of their licenses.
The private information never needs to change hands.
all the best to all victorians, i hope you all are safe and well throughout this terrible period
