with fairly complex conditions that have
to be carefully managed,” said Logan
Whitaker, GM of Slater and Gordon’s
FIDA Football league with more than 600
players.
“The benefits of CareMonkey extend
beyond simply ensuring medical
information is up to date and accessible.
CareMonkey significantly cuts down on
hours spent by volunteers with paper
based forms. Our Football League would
not run without dedicated volunteers, so
anything we can do to ease the burden
on them helps. CareMonkey has done
that in spades.”
MOBILE INJURY REPORTING
Trainers can use CareMonkey to log
detailed injury reports as they happen
rather than relying on memory later,
with the ability to add photos. Sporting
organisations such as the NRL use this
information to better understand the
cause and impact of different injuries,
including head injuries.
“CareMonkey has ensured a seamless
transition to electronic reporting of
injuries within our game,” Said Brad
Levy, Training and Research Manager at
the National Rugby League. “This means
that we have the capacity to shape our
sport’s policies in the future, as we will
have statistical evidence to support any
changes.”
A NEW STANDARD
“CareMonkey started as a platform
for families to safely share emergency
medical and contact information
with trusted carers,” said Westley.
“Those initial users started showing
CareMonkey to their schools and
sporting organisations, who started
asking to use CareMonkey as their
Emergency Health and Safety Platform.”
CareMonkey is now used in over 500
clubs throughout Australia, including
major sporting organisations such as
the AFL and National Rugby League.
CareMonkey has since organically
expanded its user base to the US, UK,
Ireland, New Zealand, and even in
Kazakhstan.
CareMonkey has been endorsed by
technology icons such as Apple Co-
founder Steve Wozniak, who agrees
having access to emergency data is vital;
“It’s better than supervisors carrying
paper documents with data on all the
participants in a sports group. The more
this is a standard the better”.

based on results from across the
country.”
