TeleRedi
Phone support during extreme heat events.
Available in South Australia and Western Australia
Feel safe, informed and well connected when extreme heat hits.
Extreme heat can be more than uncomfortable – it can be dangerous. Australian Red Cross TeleRedi offers free phone support to help you stay safe and well during periods of extreme heat.
How TeleRedi helps
TeleRedi provides critical support for people living in Australia who may be at risk during extreme heat events. When extreme heat events keep you indoors, TeleRedi connects you with a friendly Australian Red Cross volunteer who will:
- call you to check in on your wellbeing
- provide helpful advice and reminders
- link you to additional support if needed.
Whether you’re older, living alone, managing a health condition, or simply feeling vulnerable during extreme heat, staying informed and connected is vital.
It’s especially helpful for people who are:
- living alone
- housebound or frail
- living with a disability or chronic illness
- recovering from illness or injury
- experiencing mental illness.
Carers of vulnerable people are also encouraged to register as they may be at risk during an extreme heat event.
Currently, TeleRedi is available for:
- Western Australia residents
- South Australia residents.

“I feel secure knowing that someone is calling to check in and make sure everything is okay. The information helps to jog the memory on what to do in the heat.”
Red Cross pays our respects to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander custodians of the country where we work, and to Elders, past, present and emerging.
