Safe & Found: Peace of mind when every moment matters

Imagine for a moment: a loved one with dementia or cognitive impairment steps out for a walk and doesn’t return.

The minutes tick by. The worry grows. In those critical moments, having a plan – and the right support – can make all the difference.

Safe & Found is a life-saving program designed specifically for those living with dementia, autism, or cognitive impairment, and for their families.

It ensures that if a loved one goes missing, police and first responders have immediate access to vital information – photos, descriptions, medical needs, and emergency contacts – to help bring them home safely. 

Every year, thousands of Australians go missing due to wandering or confusion. 6 out of every 10 people with dementia will wander at least once. 

The risk is real: a loved one can become lost in unfamiliar surroundings, miss essential medications, or face danger if not found quickly. Without a plan, every second lost searching can mean increased risk and stress for families. 

Together we keep them safe. Join Safe & Found today. Safety in every step. Trust Safe & Found to bring them home.

When you register with Safe & Found, MedicAlert works with family and carers to collect information that creates a Lost Person Behaviour profile.

This is all the information police and emergency services would need for a targeted search approach. If a member goes missing, police access this detailed profile instantly – recent photos, medical conditions, and important habits – helping narrow the search and ensuring the right care is provided upon reunion. 

Families across Australia have shared stories of Safe & Found making the difference between hours of uncertainty and a swift, safe return.

For those with dementia or autism, wandering can happen at any time – Safe & Found ensures that, even when you can’t be there, help is always close by. 

The thought of a loved one going missing is frightening. But with Safe & Found, you can take a simple step today to protect those you care about most. Give yourself, and your family, the peace of mind that comes from knowing you’re prepared for the unexpected. 

Every moment matters when a loved one goes missing. Don’t wait for an emergency to happen. Join Safe & Found today and ensure your family is protected, no matter what life brings.
