I picked up a notification this morning - I just do a quick scroll through in the morning after I check in at my local cafe and are waiting for my coffee. Not overly concerned given the notification venue was St Vincent Hospital!
If it was - one star and straight to DVD ..
We’re you wearing your Boris Johnson hat?
Imagine joining the Police force and this is your assigned task. It would be enough to drive me insane.

Maybe Doris from WA Health was just trying to order a pizza for breakfast and accidentally called you. Give her a break
And gave some feedback about the quality of the WA heath record keeping and their lack of interaction with WA Police. 
Which really means there are so many loopholes for many to jump through. Which will also happen in SA when tracers get so many cases they will lose control. This morning they said that business owners, if they had a positive contact, had to provide a spreadsheet to SA Health evaluating the three pages of risk factors for those customers and workers. It's quite laughable their complete lack of knowledge of how this is going to play out.Update: un-$%#@!! believable.
Doris needed another pizza, as follows:
Another call from WA Heath, contact tracers. Checking my address (I told them it had changed). Checking my times at Hobart airport (hadn't changed). Checking details such as vax status, ( which vaccine) residential address. etc. "Oh, you aren't from WA??" At this point I told them that all this was on the G2G pass I laboriously applied for and that I also confirmed with WA health yesterday. I declined to say which I had received, as all in Australia are equally efficient.
Told that "G2G pass is controlled by WA Police and we [WA Health] don't access to that information". Honestly, that's exactly what the health bod said.
Reason for the call was to make sure that I wasn't in hotel quarantine, as Hobart airport had been downgraded to very low risk.
You mean WA Health doesn't know whether I'm in quarrantine or not?
We have a note here saying that you aren't but we are calling to make sure that you aren't and if you were, you could leave.
I expressed just a little bit of surprise at this point.
I was told that there is no covid in WA and "we have to be careful". Not so careful as to have institutions talking to each other and accurate records kept, is what I didn't reply.
Time for a drink.
Actually, this sounds just like what happened to me in Tasmania earlier this year when there was one case in Perth as I flew out. I received several text messages over a few days in case things had changed. That is, had my temperature increased or new symptoms. I just shrugged it off as being extremely careful.Another call from WA Heath, contact tracers. Checking my address (I told them it had changed). Checking my times at Hobart airport (hadn't changed).

Yep, I'm getting texts from Tas as I was in the same venue on the same day etc etc .... But not phone calls every day asking the same info as was originally provided and provided again the day before, and in addition this time, what vaccine I had!
(ages ago)I get those on such a regular basis that it's caused problems, in that I simply ignore text messages first up in the morning. Sometimes it's actually not a message telling me I arrived in Tasmania and I ignore a relevant message.
