Making Australian Roads Safer for Everyone

If you've ever driven through regional Australia, you've seen it: kangaroos, wallabies, wombats, and other animals lying on the side of the road. It's a sight that's become far too common, and it's one we refuse to accept as normal.

Every year, over 16,000 vehicle collisions with kangaroos alone are reported across Australia. These incidents cause serious injuries to drivers and passengers, cost millions in vehicle damage, and devastate native wildlife populations. For those who live in rural and regional areas, it's not a question of if you'll encounter an animal on the road. It's when.

RooGuard was born from a simple idea: what if we could prevent these collisions before they happen? Not with slower speed limits or bigger bull bars, but with technology that humanely deters animals from the road, giving both the driver and the animal time to avoid a dangerous encounter.

We're developing a compact, portable device that mounts to any car's windshield or dashboard. When activated, RooGuard creates a deterrent field ahead of the vehicle that encourages animals to move away from the road. It's plug-and-play, works on any vehicle, and, most importantly, it's completely humane.
