GPS Tracking: Safe and Supported by NDIS
Clarification on Restrictive Practices
GPS tracking is not restricted when it is used to keep participants safe or enable mobility outside the home. To meet NDIS guidelines, ensure the purpose of GPS tracking is clearly outlined in the participant’s Behaviour Support Plan for transparency.
NDIS and Live Tracking
IMPORTANT: While NDIS no longer funds smartwatches, (including devices with internet browsing, app downloads, or gaming capabilities), live GPS tracking for safety purposes is still funded. Our GPS Buddy product do not fall into the category of a smartwatch—it is a purpose-built safety device designed with live tracking, automatic fall detection, and SOS alerts. These essential features make it eligible for NDIS funding and a trusted solution for promoting safe independence.

FAQ
If you have inquiries regarding My Buddy Gard, we invite you to explore a curated selection of the most commonly asked questions for your convenience.
Why is a Buddy Tracker better than an AirTag for tracking loved ones?
AirTags are designed for tracking items, not people, and rely on nearby Apple devices to update their location. They lack real-time tracking, safety features like SOS buttons and fall detection, and can even notify strangers of their presence. Buddy Trackers are purpose-built for loved ones’ safety, offering secure, encrypted tracking, real-time updates, geo-fencing, and emergency alerts, ensuring peace of mind for families and caregivers.
