Why Choose INS LifeGuard?

how INS LifeGuard supports people

INS LifeGuard is a leading family-owned Australian Health Care Company 

Dedicated to delivering quality services that support people in their home.

The INS Group was established in 1984 as the Illawarra Nursing Service. As one of the oldest care providers in Australia, we have had substantial experience in providing health care services in the community, as well as eHealth, TeleHealth and accompanying assistive technologies.


We are a prevention based service and as the only nurse on call personal and medical alarm monitoring service in Australia we also monitor other providers equipment.

INS LifeGuard's monitoring solutions

Monitoring Services

There’s a big difference between INS LifeGuard and other providers. Our Emergency Response Centre is staffed by highly qualified and experienced nurses and other health care professionals, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We know of no other company who can make that claim, and we feel it’s an important distinction. Emergency personnel are engaged quickly if required, and our nurses can share personal details and also medical information that could save a life.

A Medical Alarm/Personal Response System from INS LifeGuard

Your own personal nurse on-call service.

We help people to live more independent, active lives with greater confidence and peace of mind knowing that help is available at the press of a button, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Our nurses are available at any time for information or support and can interact with the client’s GP or other primary care professionals, we also conduct welfare checks, e.g. for those returning home from the hospital or who may be ill, just to make sure everything is alright.

During a recent medical emergency, my husband and I were immensely reassured by the prompt and professional response from INS LifeGuard Service. Robyn, a team member at INS, provided calm and effective support, quickly notifying the ambulance team and offering assistance over the phone. The swift arrival of the Village Manager further strengthened our confidence in the emergency care system. Now that my husband is recovering, we remain deeply appreciative of the compassionate and efficient service. We are so grateful for the reliable and comprehensive support provided by INS.

— Mr. and Mrs. Davis

Your phone and wrist button made me feel safe and secure in my home when through illness I felt vulnerable. The fact that I knew that I only had to press a button to have someone on the other end talk to me and arrange an ambulance allowed me to stay independent for as long as possible.

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.

I also want to extend my personal thanks for your help and the service you offer. I’m on the phone with your team many times a week, and I can add my compliments to this one.

Thank you so much, INS, for all your assistance! I am Mrs. B’s daughter, and I wanted to express how grateful I am for everything. I believe in giving credit where it’s due, and everyone at INS was so helpful in swapping over and setting up my mother’s new alarm device. Your support has been invaluable.

I wanted to take a moment to express my deep gratitude for the exceptional service my wife and I received. Both of us had contracted Covid, and when my wife needed to be transported to the hospital, everything went off without a hitch—like a Swiss watch. I’m particularly thankful to John, who handled our alarm call with such professionalism. Thank you to everyone involved in providing us with such excellent care.

— Arthur T

On behalf of our independent living village I must pass on our sincere thanks as your team have been really impressive lately with responding to emergencies, especially regarding one of dear residents who required an ambulance yesterday whilst having lunch in our clubroom...response time was fantastic…..well done!

I want to thank two of your staff members who I spoke to recently. They were both so kind and understanding during what was an incredibly difficult time for us. Staff who are so caring, especially during such tough times, are truly a credit to any organisation. Thank you so much.

— Debra N.

I’m the manager of one of our new village sites, and I wanted to share some positive feedback with INS. The residents have been very complimentary of our team, especially the nurses who respond to the emergency alarms. They were lovely, and it’s clear we’re doing a great job. Well done, everyone!

I want to extend my gratitude for your continued excellent service. My daughter shared that the old unit worked perfectly on Monday, helping secure an ambulance for Mum. The person from INS who assisted us was extremely calm and helpful. I thought you might appreciate this positive feedback.
