Interestingly, there was supposed to be regulations addressing mobile carriers provision of users locations to emergency services back in 2011:

"New regulations will see mobile carriers providing precise location information to emergency services to help locate people who can't identify where they are"
....
"The function will start on 20 April 2011"

But the responsible body (ACMA) on their site still says as of 16 October 2013:

"Australia’s mobile networks cannot automatically transmit GPS data from a handset to an emergency service operator."

Most recently

"There are plans for a limited trial of a location-based technology tentatively set for mid-2014."
