Wishkeeper a client and staff benefit

Every Caring Lotus client and Support Worker receives a free Wishkeeper account - a unique and valuable service we're proud to gift you as a heartfelt thank you for trusting us. It's our way of saying how much we appreciate you, with a benefit that's truly incredible and genuinely supportive.

Wishkeeper is an innovative digital platform designed to help you document your life story, secure your legacy, and provide peace of mind for both you and your loved ones. Wishkeeper offers a safe, organised way to store your important documents, record your final wishes, and ensure your voice is heard even when you're no longer able to speak for yourself.

What is Wishkeeper?

Wishkeeper is a comprehensive digital planner created by local Melbournians Cheryl Lardner and David Bye, who developed the platform after their own personal experiences with loss.

For Cheryl, losing her mother without knowing her final wishes highlighted the vital importance of having these conversations well before they're needed. For David, surviving a heart attack at 46 made him realise how unprepared his family would have been had he not pulled through.

This practical, secure platform allows you to:

Securely store and organise all your important life documents in one place

Ensure your loved ones have access to critical information when they need it

Securely share files with Caring Lotus

Document your end-of-life wishes clearly

Share your life stories and memories

One of Wishkeeper's most valuable features is the Ambassador system, which allows you to designate up to 10 trusted individuals who can access specific information based on the permissions you set. You decide what each Ambassador can see and when they can see it (now, after your passing, or never), giving you complete control over your personal information.

Introduction to Wishkeeper

Guided planning process

Thoughtful prompts and categorisation make it easier to document the information your loved ones might need, ensuring you don't miss anything important.

Peace of mind

Perhaps most importantly, Wishkeeper provides peace of mind knowing that your wishes will be honoured, and your loved ones won't be left guessing during an already difficult time.

Why Wishkeeper matters

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you weren't around to answer important questions for your family? Wishkeeper addresses this concern directly.

When a loved one passes away, families often find themselves:

Searching for important documents like wills or insurance policies
Trying to remember conversations about final wishes
Making difficult decisions without clear guidance
Dealing with administrative challenges during a time of grief

Wishkeeper eliminates this uncertainty by providing clear documentation of your wishes and easy access to important information. Wishkeeper also helps facilitate important conversations that might otherwise be avoided, making it easier to discuss sensitive topics like end-of-life care and funeral arrangements.
