Continuing the relaunch and expansion of Spacetalk's business model
At Spacetalk it is our mission to provide an ecosystem of products that ensure safety at every stage of life.
Peace of mind for families is set to become more important than ever over the next two decades, as the number of people in Australia aged 75 or over is expected to double. By 2050, an estimated one quarter of all Australians will be aged 65 years and over.
As the proportion of younger Australians declines, the number of people aged 65 years and over is expected to overtake the number of children aged 0 to 14 years as soon as 2025.
Around 7 in 10 Australian seniors indicate that they prefer to receive care and live independently at home (age in place), with only 1 in 4 people aged 85 years or over living in care accommodation.
Aging in place is supported by Australian Federal Government initiatives include the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) and Home Care Package (HCP) funding for assistive technology, including devices that assist with personal safety.
As we continue our transformation, we began early in CY2023, we are now bringing our vision of 'Safety at Every Stage of Life' to the seniors market.
Spacetalk Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director Simon Crowther, said:
Spacetalk's collaboration with Safety Link is a key step in our strategic plan to ensure the safety and wellbeing of seniors across Australia. By meeting rigorous Australian standards, we have elevated Spacetalk Life to redefine senior care, offering not just safety features but also genuine peace of mind through robust 24/7 monitoring and the security of the Spacetalk Mobile network.
