When you call 000 in an emergency, it usually takes a minute for the operator to establish your location. But two Charters Towers graziers have developed a phone app that essentially eliminates that, giving you the ability to get help sooner.
Russ Broad and Ben Callcott have developed Koorca in a remote part of North Queensland, despite the fact they don’t have phone reception (to test the app!) or any kind of tech background.
“There’s 15,000 calls to 000 a day in Australia from mobiles where they don’t know where that person is located,” says Russ.
“We’ve also built the app to take a photo to send to a central database with a date and time stamp on it, so emergency services have evidence of someone who might be threatening or attacking someone.”
“It takes away their anonymity- hopefully preventing a lot of crimes even taking place.”
