INS LifeGuard
Monitored Personal Alarms for Home & Away
24/7 Personal Safety & Medical Alert Solutions for Seniors, Lone Workers, and More.
Australia's Premier Nurse Response Service
INS LifeGuard offers a range of monitored personal alarms for a wide variety of users, from seniors through to lone workers.
With features that include a 24/7 personal emergency button, two-way communication, and GPS location tracking, our personal alarms are among the best and most reliable in the industry.
Our Emergency Response Centre is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week by trained emergency responders who are also highly qualified and experienced healthcare professionals — including Registered and Enrolled Nurses. This unique combination means our team doesn’t just respond to emergencies — they can clinically assess, triage, and provide immediate medical advice. To our knowledge, no other company can make this claim.
How It Works?
INS LifeGuard personal alarms help people to live more independent, active lives knowing that a nurse is on call and help is available at the press of a button, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Step 1
Press the Button to Trigger an Alarm
In the event of an emergency, press the button on your personal alarm system. We can also supply a Fall Sensor that automatically triggers an alarm when a fall is detected.
Step 2
Communicate with our INS Nurse
An alarm is sent to a nurse in our emergency response centre, who has access to your personal details and medical history. The nurse will call out to you over a two-way speaker on your emergency unit. You need not be near the unit to be heard.
Step 3
Assistance Arranged
The nurse will assess the situation and send whatever help is required – whether that be your emergency contacts (family member, neighbour, or friend), or emergency services.
Step 4
Dispatched Help if Necessary
If the nurse is unable to make voice contact, an ambulance will be dispatched to your location. No matter what the situation, rest assured help is on the way.

Firstly, I would like to thank you for the consistent high-quality service you have provided to The Willows Residents during 2023. Your team responds with efficiency and kindness at all times and we value the attention and care given through all the calls we have made to you. THANK YOU!!!
Just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU for all your time and patience on the phone today Nicole. As a virgin INS user, I emailed you. You called me right away and were so patient and took the time to learn a little of what our village required from this system. You then patiently explained the functions of the portal, paying attention to the functions which [our village] would find helpful.
I just wish to say thank you to the INS staff member who assisted us, Alison. She was very calm and caring and made the effort to check in on the situation over the several hours the call was active. She helped alleviate some of my distress, and I hope that you can note this on her file or at least pass on my thanks to her once more.
