Safe Return Home ID·Assist - Launched in Victoria

In Partnership with Victoria Police

Safe Return Home - ID·Assist was launched at Victoria Police Headquarters on February 25th 2004.  The project was introduced by the former Chief Commissioner of Police, Christine Nixon (Official Victoria Police press release ) and launched by Gavin Jennings  former Minster for Aged Care in Victoria.

The ID·Assist system is now available on the internal Police intranet throughout the State, Police mobile data terminals and also accessible via the Emergency 000 system.  All police in Victoria have immediate access to the system. Please read the Safe Return Home ID·Assist official launch press release . 

The program is for any person considered 'at risk' - this is someone that may become disoriented and go missing or otherwise need assistance from police/emergency services.  As such the system applies to not only older people with memory loss but others with intellectual disability, developmental delay, mental illness, physical disability or a brain injury of some type (eg. closed head injury).  Please go to the Contact Us page if you have any questions on this innovative program designed to provide peace of mind and support for all Victorians.
