A heroic nine-year-old has received a bravery award for calmly calling triple-0 after his mother suffered a stroke whilst driving him to swimming lessons.

Noah Mattani received the ‘Triple Zero Hero’ award on Tuesday for his action under pressure when his mother, Nicole, suddenly pulled the car over after she began feeling seriously unwell.

Mattani was able to guide triple-0 operators to their location as well as help diagnose his mother’s illness as being symptomatic of a stroke.

He was even able to turn the car's hazard lights on to assist paramedics in the crucial minutes before the two were found.

What a hero!
