In-home fall detection for older Australians.

Gentle fall detection that notices when something's off and keeps an eye on her day, then tells the people who love her. No pendant to wear. No camera. Nothing to charge.

A day at Mum's

Scroll through an ordinary day, the way you'd want to see it.

7:10am

The day starts on its own.

No check-in call to make. You can see she's up and moving, getting on with her morning, before you've finished your coffee.

11:30am

Just her normal.

The kettle, the kitchen, the usual laps of the house. Fall Monitoring quietly learns what her ordinary day looks like, so normal stays quiet.

3:00pm

Living her life.

Out in the garden, down to the shops, a nap on the lounge. It watches the pattern of the day, not her every move. No camera, nothing recorded.

8:45pm

Wound down for the night.

Lights low, settled in. You get a calm end to the day instead of the worry that keeps you up at the other end of the phone.

When something's off

You're the first to know.

A fall, or a day that simply doesn't look right, and the people she chose get a gentle heads-up. Early enough to ring, or to be the one who comes around.

We do the setting up. You just get the reassurance.

No box of parts, no app to wrestle with, no asking her to remember anything.

We come and fit it

A short visit to place a few small sensors around the home. No wiring to tear up, no camera in the corner, nothing she has to wear or charge.

It learns her normal

Over the first days it settles into the rhythm of her days, so a fall or an off day stands out, and an ordinary one stays quiet.

You hear only when it matters

The family she picks can glance any time, and get a gentle alert if something needs a look. We are on the end of the phone if you need us.

It keeps her dignity, not just her safety.

The reason families say yes: it doesn't feel like being watched.

It's not a camera.

There is no footage, ever. The sensors read movement and presence, not pictures. Nobody, including us, can watch her or see inside the home.

It's not a pendant.

Nothing to wear, nothing to charge, nothing to press in a panic. The help works whether or not she remembers it is there, which is exactly when it is needed most.

It's not someone hovering.

She keeps her independence and her privacy. You swap the daily worry for a quiet sense that she's alright, and the room to just be her family again.

The funding is already there.

Since 1 November 2025, the Support at Home program funds in-home personal and safety alerts as low-cost assistive technology, for people 65 and over, or 50 and over for First Nations Australians. For anyone under 65, the NDIS can fund it as assistive technology, and a self or plan managed participant can arrange it without us being a registered provider. If neither fits, private pay is simple and there is no waitlist. Not sure which door is hers? That is part of the conversation, and we will tell you honestly what is likely, with no pressure either way.

Real people, on the end of the phone.

Fall Monitoring is run by Alien IT, an Australian team that designs, installs and looks after the gear, so it stays trustworthy instead of becoming another thing in a drawer. If you would rather start softer, our sister service Check on Mum is the same care with a gentler front door.

Where this comes from

The official sources behind the funding and safety information on this page, so you can check any of it yourself rather than take our word for it:

Questions families ask.

Is there a subscription or monthly fee?

No subscription is required for the fall detection to keep working. You own the system outright and we set it up for you, with everything running locally in the home. An optional managed plan is there if you'd like us to look after alert delivery and upkeep, but it's a choice, never a lock-in, and the detection works without it.

Do we own the equipment?

Yes. It's your equipment in the home, not rented or leased. Once installed it stays yours and keeps working, so there's no monthly bill keeping the safety net alive and no provider that can switch it off. Tell us how much you'd like watched and we'll come back with a tailored quote to own it outright.

How does it know she's had a fall?

Small radar-style sensors read movement and presence in the home, the way a motion sensor does, but far more carefully. A sudden fall, or a day that does not match her normal pattern, triggers an alert to the people she has chosen. There is no camera and nothing is recorded.

Does she have to wear or do anything?

No. That is the point. Nothing to wear, nothing to charge, nothing to press. It works quietly in the background whether or not she remembers it is there.

Who gets the alerts?

Whoever she chooses, a daughter, a son, a neighbour, in whatever order makes sense. They can also glance any time to see she is up and about, without needing to call and check.

Is it private?

Yes. The sensors do not take pictures or audio, so there is no footage to leak or to feel watched by. It reads patterns of movement, not images, and the data stays for the family and the monitored plan only.

Can it be funded?

Often, yes, through the NDIS as assistive technology or the Support at Home program. We will talk you through what is likely for her situation. There is no obligation to go ahead.

What kind of fall detection is it?

In-home, radar-based fall detection for older Australians. A wall-mounted sensor reads movement and detects a fall on its own, no camera, then automatic fall detection alerts the family the moment it happens.

What does it cost?

It depends on the home and how much you want watched, so we quote per home rather than guess. Book a quiet chat and we will come back with a clear plan and price.

You own the system. No subscription to keep it working.

Most fall-detection products tie you to a monthly monitoring fee, and the safety net ends the day the payment does. We do it the other way. You own a fall-detection system outright, it runs locally in the home, and we set the whole thing up for you. Still weighing up pendants, watches and sensors?

Own it, no monthly fee

The equipment is yours in the home, not rented or leased. The fall detection keeps working without a subscription keeping it alive, and no provider can switch it off.

All local

The sensor and its alerting live in the home, not behind a paywall in someone else's cloud. There's nothing to cancel and nothing that stops the day a bill goes unpaid.

We set it up

No box of parts, no app to fight. We come out, place the small sensors, set who gets alerted and in what order, and hand it over working.

Choose how much is watched.

Every home is different, so we build to what she needs rather than sell a box. Pick the level of cover that fits, and we'll come back with a tailored quote to own it outright, never a monthly lock-in.

Essential: fall detection in the main living area, alerts to one family contact Family: whole-of-home cover, multiple contacts in the order she chooses, daily wellbeing pattern Cared-for: everything in Family, plus an optional managed plan where we look after alert delivery and upkeep
Prices depend on the home and how much you want watched, so we quote per home rather than guess. The managed plan is always optional, the detection you own works either way.
