Duress button software for Australian teams, screen, tray, hotkey and an optional desk button.
From A$299/year.
No credit card required for the trial. No additional hardware needed. No IT needed, as long as you have appropriate rights.
The desk button, done right
Add a physical button where it helps, from A$25 plus delivery. Unlike a hardwired button, Duress Alert warns you on screen the moment a button is unplugged, and confirms when it’s back, so you never discover a dead button during an emergency. And if a button ever fails, staff can still raise the alert from the screen, tray icon or hotkey.
Duress Alert warns on screen the moment a USB button is disconnected, and confirms when it’s reconnected, so you never discover a dead button during an emergency.
Under WHS law in every Australian state and territory, employers must provide a safe workplace so far as is reasonably practicable, and a duress alarm is a recognised control for occupational violence. Duress Alert’s dated raise → respond → reset history is evidence you can table.
For your IT provider
Your IT person (or ours) can push Duress Alert to every computer automatically, silent-install MSIs generated by the server with your configuration baked in, central management of every setting, and support for shared/remote desktops (RDS) and Mac. Client-to-server traffic stays on your local network (default TCP 8001); only the server talks to the cloud, over HTTPS, for licensing and reporting. Have an IT team, multiple sites, or shared/remote desktops? See our IT deployment page, silent installs, central configuration and rollout at any scale.
Does it work on Mac as well as Windows?
Yes. Windows and Mac clients are both supported, and alerts flow between them on the same site.
“Our receptionist hit the fixed button under the desk during a confrontation, and found out later it was broken. With Duress Alert she knows: if it’s green, we can see her.”
