Red Cross can provide you with a daily telephone call to check on your wellbeing through a service known as Telecross.  This provides peace of mind if you are at risk of an accident or illness that may go unnoticed, such as falling and being unable to call for help.  The volunteer will check to see that you are well and provide a friendly voice to wake up to each morning.

Telecross REDi assists vulnerable and isolated people cope with extreme weather events.  The Telecross REDi service supports people by calling them daily during declared heatwaves.  People in the community who are at risk during extreme weather events and require phone support during these periods are encouraged to register for the service. This includes people who live alone, have a disability, are experiencing mental illness, are housebound, frail, aged, recovering from an illness or accident, or have an ongoing illness, such as diabetes or a heart condition. Carers of vulnerable people are also encouraged to register as they may be at risk during an extreme weather event.
