Since SafeTCard was created in 2010, it has become the trusted partner of Australian businesses employing lone workers. To understand the pivotal role SafeTCard has played in various. industries, here are a few stories of how our solutions have transformed lone worker safety.
Anna, a community nurse, spends her day visiting patients at home, providing care, administering medication, and handling everything from routine checks to complex cases. But not all environments are friendly or safe.
How SafeTCard helps:
Anna starts each visit with an Audio Check-In, a 20 second voice recording that is sent to the ARC directly. If she’s threatened or attacked during a visit, and the ARC hasn’t heard from her after the amount time stated, the ARC will send emergency services.
She can also trigger a Red Alert/SOS discreetly. An audio recording starts immediately, capturing what’s happening while emergency services are notified.
Anna can focus on caring for her patients, knowing her safety is covered. Healthcare workers deserve to feel safe, no matter where the job takes them
Sarah’s day involves driving long distances to inspect and repair power lines in remote areas. She works alone for hours, far from the nearest town, and even further from help if something goes wrong.
How SafeTCard helps:
Before climbing equipment or starting repairs, she records an audio check-in, detailing where she is and what she’s doing; a lifeline if communication drops out. If she falls or gets injured, SafeTCard’s fall detection kicks in, sending an alert automatically. No movement? The ARC sends help.
When you work alone, backup isn’t a luxury — it’s essential
It’s 11 PM and Jack is starting his overnight security shift, patrolling a large, isolated industrial site. It’s dark, quiet, and anything could happen — from break-ins to medical emergencies.
How SafeTCard helps:
Jack’s device has fall detection, so if he trips or is attacked and becomes unresponsive, an alert automatically goes to the ARC. His GPS location helps responders get to him fast. If he senses danger, he can trigger a Red Alert/SOS alarm, connecting him to live emergency support — no phone call needed.
Security guards like Jack shouldn’t have to choose between doing their job and staying safe. SafeTCard ensures they can do both.
Meet Emily, a social worker visiting clients in their homes, often in unpredictable environments. Her day starts with a schedule full of back-to-back visits, many in unfamiliar neighbourhoods. She knows some visits may be emotionally charged or even unsafe.
How SafeTCard helps:
Before entering, Emily records a discreet “Audio Check-in”, letting the monitoring centre know where she is exactly (ie apartment number) and that if we don’t hear from her after 30 min minutes, she might need support. At the end of the day, Emily can focus on supporting her clients, knowing someone’s watching out for her too.
Social work is tough enough. Staying safe shouldn’t be another challeng
Tom works as an environmental field inspector, often trekking through rough terrain to check on remote sites and equipment. He can go hours without seeing another person — which means if something goes wrong, he’s on his own.
How SafeTCard helps:
Tom uses the pre-set check-in feature — if he doesn’t confirm he’s okay at regular intervals, an automatic alert is triggered. If he slips or gets injured, the fall detection system notifies the ARC immediately.
For lone workers in remote environments, quick response time is everything — SafeTCard ensures help knows exactly where to go. Isolation shouldn’t mean vulnerability.
