Safe to wander.
Quick to be found.
We safeguard people at risk of going missing — empowering them to live healthy, active lives in the communities they love.
Any age. Any condition. Always free.
We work with all ages and conditions — dementia, autism, brain injury and more. Our free radio-frequency devices are worn day-to-day, and if the person goes missing, NZ Police and Land Search & Rescue volunteers can locate them quickly.
- Battery lasts up to 8 months — no charging, nothing to remember
- No monitoring — only searched for when Police are notified
- Pendant, wrist and keyring models to suit the person
I knew my mum was safe. Your organisation saves lives — thank you.
The WandaTrak device.
A small, robust radio-frequency transmitter worn as a pendant, on the wrist, or as a keyring. Each device has a unique frequency that NZ Police and Land Search & Rescue can track with specialised equipment.
Designed to be worn every day and personalised so it feels like a keepsake, not a tag.
