Lifestream’s in-app support team is ready for your call. In the event of an emergency, your SOS call or chat will be answered by our experienced response centre operator based in Australia.
Our response centre partner provides one of the world’s leading telehealth and emergency solutions. When you call Lifestream, a trained operator is able to access important information such as who you are, where you are and what is going on so they can coordinate emergency assistance and support.
Our response centre partner has over 65 years of global experience and follows the highest industry standards in service provision. Our partner is compliant with the Australian AS 4607 standard for response centres, meeting all requirements for standardised policies, procedures, service delivery, risk management protocols and data security.
Even if you cannot physically talk or it’s not safe to do so, Lifestream still empowers you to communicate with live chat, location and video call.
Our Lifestream operator will also stay online until help arrives to provide support, advice, and reassurance when you need it.

Lifestream is more than a safety platform or an emergency app. It encourages young people to share with trusted adults.
With Lifestream, you and the children you care for can collectively determine what makes up reasonable levels of observation, privacy, and supervision. You’re preparing them to ask for your help when they need it.
By doing this, you’re showing them it’s okay to seek support and express vulnerability. This message has the potential to open discussions and situations related to safety and wellbeing.
The goal of Lifestream’s design is to empower individuals with the ability to shape their own safety, security, and community. This means offering young people a one-stop-shop for finding the resources they require navigating life.
It also signifies that public services are at the forefront of their thoughts when in need, and that they can rely on you and other trustworthy adults in their groups for guidance and support. This will encourage other safety talks, instruct on personal and physical safety, and provide a fun, interactive, and daily way to promote check-ins.
Create Family, Friends or Work groups. Even Girls Weekend Away group.
Groups are private invite-only and allow you to selectively share location or communicate in a safe, secure environment.
- Set up a family group to stay connected throughout a busy week of school and life. Think of it as the way to make sure you never miss school pick up or drop off again!
- Set up a group based on a shared interest. For example, easily communicating with your sports team. By setting up a team group, the coaches and team members can communicate about poor weather cancellations for sporting events or training. Or to let each other know whose turn it is to wash the jumpers and pack the oranges or the starting line-up for the big match.
- Lifestream can also be used for short-term groups. Imagine the entire family or a school excursion is exploring an event like Sydney’s Vivid festival. With Lifestream, you can communicate with each other to set meeting points, let each other know what exhibits are worth checking out, where you’ll be next, and where to meet for hot chocolate and to compare notes. All with the added safety of knowing that if anyone gets lost or needs help for any reason, an entire group of people can come to their aid.
Imagine your teen has come out of the movies after a late-night session or after a busy Thursday night at their part-time job and is walking solo to the carpark in the dark.
Your child can set the WatchMe timer for the expected length of their journey until they safely reach the car.
If they fail to cancel WatchMe when the alarm goes off, a safety protocol is initiated to check if they’re okay. This includes our response operators calling to check if your child is okay, and if there is no response, letting emergency contacts know or initiating emergency response if this has been included in the protocol.
All your CCTV recordings are securely stored with Lifestream.
