Who this is for

This page explains the public StepOz commercial layer for the right audience.

  • Adult children helping parents or elderly relatives live more independently in Australia.
  • Families supporting loved ones who have limited English or feel unsafe going out alone.
  • Carers who need a family-safe task assistance layer instead of ad hoc phone follow-up.

When to use it

Use this when you need to choose the right StepOz payment, family, or organisation setup.

  • When a loved one needs regular StepOz guidance plus family safety features.
  • When the family wants daily check-ins, session-based location sharing, or SMS fallback for real safety events.
  • When multiple trusted contacts need a clear, consent-based support setup.

What is included

Family Safety Pass includes the family-safe runtime already present in StepOz, not a generic bundle of future ideas.

  • Everything in Personal Pass
  • Family account support
  • Up to 3 family member seats
  • Each family member can use StepOz at a Personal Pass-equivalent personal level
  • Protected-user access is controlled by consent and family permissions
  • Daily check-in
  • Location sharing sessions
  • SMS fallback for safety events
  • Family safety dashboard
  • Timeout, missed check-in, risk escalation, and SOS-style safety policy support
  • Help loved ones complete tasks safely
  • User consent and privacy controls
  • Ordinary reassurance remains user-initiated SMS or WhatsApp unless a configured safety event occurs

How families use it

The plan is designed to support independence first and escalation second.

  • Help a parent or loved one complete everyday Australian tasks more confidently.
  • Keep ordinary task-completion updates user-initiated through the user's own SMS or WhatsApp app.
  • Let up to 3 family members use their own StepOz task assistance while keeping protected-user access permission-based.
  • Use daily check-ins, location-sharing sessions, and family dashboard when the situation truly needs them.

Annual billing

Families who need a longer-term safety setup can use the annual public plan.

  • Save with annual billing. Pay for 10 months and get 12 months of Family Safety Pass.
  • Monthly and annual pricing are both shown in USD.

Safety boundary

Family safety should be visible and useful, but never framed as an emergency replacement.

  • StepOz is not a replacement for 000. In an emergency in Australia, call 000.
  • Server-side SMS fallback is for real safety events such as timeout, missed check-in, risk escalation, or SOS.
  • Ordinary reassurance still stays user-initiated.

Privacy boundary

Family support works only when consent and contact setup are handled carefully.

  • Family features require user consent and appropriate family contact setup.
  • Private household, location, and safety-event data must not be publicly indexed or exposed.
  • Family Safety Pass does not justify silent always-on monitoring by default.
