Help at the Press of a Button
Our professional nurse on call is ready to get you the assistance you need, whenever you need it, 24/7.
Go about your daily activities with more confidence and less worry, our staff know exactly who requires assistance and will immediately send help.
Included in our service, you can call anytime to speak with a registered nurse about any health concerns, support and expert health advice tailored to your situation. Whether you need guidance on a health issue or have questions about medications, our nurses are here to provide you with the information you need.
Our support goes beyond just health concerns. If you're feeling lonely or just need someone to talk to, an INS Nurse is always ready to listen. We believe that emotional wellbeing is just as important as physical health, so you can reach out for a friendly conversation at any time of the day or night. Our registered nurses are here to provide comfort and companionship, helping to alleviate feelings of isolation and making sure you feel connected and supported.
With a nurse on call from INS LifeGuard, you’re never alone. We prioritise your wellbeing, offering both immediate assistance and ongoing support, so you can enjoy your daily life with peace of mind.
How It Works?
INS LifeGuard personal alarms help people to live more independent, active lives knowing that a nurse is on call and help is available at the press of a button, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Step 1
Press the Button to Trigger an Alarm
In the event of an emergency, press the button on your personal alarm system. We can also supply a Fall Sensor that automatically triggers an alarm when a fall is detected.
Step 2
Communicate with our INS Nurse
An alarm is sent to a nurse in our emergency response centre, who has access to your personal details and medical history. The nurse will call out to you over a two-way speaker on your emergency unit. You need not be near the unit to be heard.
Step 3
Assistance Arranged
The nurse will assess the situation and send whatever help is required – whether that be your emergency contacts (family member, neighbour, or friend), or emergency services.
Step 4
Dispatched Help if Necessary
If the nurse is unable to make voice contact, an ambulance will be dispatched to your location. No matter what the situation, rest assured help is on the way.

Advantages of INS LifeGuard's Nurse On Call Service
At INS LifeGuard, we pride ourselves on being a leading healthcare provider in Australia, committed to delivering exceptional care through innovative technology and compassionate support. Some of the key advantages of our nurse on call include:
24/7 Assistance
Our Nurse On Call services provide immediate assistance by offering patients direct access to a health care professional around the clock. Whether it's addressing urgent health concerns, managing chronic conditions, or offering reassurance during medical emergencies, our experienced registered nurses are available 24/7 to address your health issues and offer professional health advice anytime. Our nurse on call can also help individuals with hearing or speech impairment understand their symptoms and provide instructions on what steps to take.
Convenient Access to Care
INS LifeGuard leverages technology to offer remote health services through a Nurse On Call. Patients can easily have their vital signs monitored by a registered nurse from the comfort of their homes, without needing to visit a healthcare facility. This service is especially important for individuals at higher risk of illness, such as the elderly or those with compromised immune systems, as it allows for continuous, real-time health monitoring, all while prioritising convenience and safety.
Personalised Support
At INS LifeGuard, our Nurse On Call services offer personalised support by connecting patients with experienced registered nurses who understand their unique health needs. Through one-on-one consultations, nurses assess individual circumstances, answer questions, and provide tailored advice based on medical history and current conditions. This personalised approach guarantees that patients receive health services that are relevant to their condition.
Enhanced Peace of Mind
INS LifeGuard's Nurse On Call provides reassurance that help is always available when needed. With a nurse on call, patients can address their concerns and receive assistance in managing chronic health conditions such as heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes, and other complex medical issues. By offering virtual access to an INS LifeGuard nurse, it reduces the anxiety associated with seeking help, providing peace of mind knowing that support is just a call away.
Financial Savings
Our nurse on call basically eliminates the need for in-person visits to healthcare facilities, which can involve travel expenses and consultation fees. Patients can receive professional health advice and support without the need to go outside and spend on transportation and additional medical fees. This service is particularly beneficial for individuals in rural or remote areas who may face long distances to access care. By providing timely assessments and guidance over the phone, our nurse on call helps prevent unnecessary trips to hospitals or clinics, which can be both time-consuming and costly.

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.

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.
