Have you heard about WanderSearch Canterbury?
WanderSearch Canterbury provides tracking devices to people suffering from cognitive impairment and who have a tendency to wander, get disorientated and lost. The cognitive impairment may be due to, for example, Dementia, brain injury or conditions such as Autism. Regardless of the issue we can help by supplying tracking devices free of charge through our Device Loan bank.
Working with NZ Police, if your loved one gets lost and is wearing a Wandatrak device they will in almost all instances be found in very short time preventing unnecessary stress and potential loss of life.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
