About cura1

Australian owned and operated cura1 is a manufacturer of innovative products designed to help staff and carers provide greater comfort and safer, more efficient care to patients and clients.

Since 1992 we have been providing support and peace of mind to:

Aged Care Facilities
Dementia Wards
Nursing Homes
Retirement Villages
Hospitals
Independent Living & Private Home Use

It can be draining and distracting to always have one eye on your operations and one eye on the ever-changing regulatory framework and the continual raft of changes being made to minimum standards in patient care. This is where cura1 comes in, with its innovative range of devices and systems for use in:

Fall Prevention for the elderly or people who are frail or unwell
Wandering Resident and patient care for people with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia
Staff Alert and security for facility staff and visitors

cura1 puts you back in charge. It lets you meet and surpass current standards of duty of care, and also elevates you to a leadership position from where you will be able to demand that regulators catch up to your superior levels of care.

As well as being a leading manufacturer of these products, cura1 also provides in-house customer support and technical support through dedicated staff who are available to help resellers and customers with product application, system design and product technical support and repairs.

As you look through our product range, you will see how two decades of working in geriatric care and electronic communications has informed the innovative range of cura1 technology.

The cura1 business, office and modern warehouse facility is located at Kilkenny in South Australia and has a reseller network throughout Australia and New Zealand to provide local, on the ground, sales and support for its products.
