Our SmartSafe+ app
Our SmartSafe+ app
SmartSafe+ is a mobile phone app that supports women to collect evidence of family violence safely
It is designed to assist women to collect and store evidence to help them get an intervention order, or to prove a breach.
It is like a diary but with the extra features and security that smartphones and internet technology can provide.
SmartSafe+ is available free of charge from the App Store (iOS) and Google Play (Android). To get access to the App, please see contact details below.
It's done this way to keep you safe.
This App is part of the SmartSafe suite of resources to support women’s safety and encourage the positive use of technology.
