- What is The Local Dose?
- A family planning platform for Australian families. It finds family-friendly places and events near you, then builds a day around your kids' ages, your budget, the weather and how far you'll travel.
- Do I need to download an app?
- No. The Local Dose runs in your browser and can be added to your home screen in a couple of taps, so it feels like an app without the app store.
- Does it cost anything?
- No. Creating an account and planning family days is free.
- Why do I need an account?
- Recommendations are personalised. Your child ages, suburb, budget and saved places live in your account so you don't answer the same questions twice.
- Which areas do you cover?
- We're launching in the Illawarra with deep local coverage, and expanding to more Australian regions from there.
- Where does your information come from?
- A mix of local research, business-maintained profiles and parent feedback. Businesses can claim their profile and keep their own details accurate.
- Can I add my business?
- Yes. Claiming a profile is free, and you can list your opening hours, photos, family features, accessibility and facilities.
- How do you handle my family's information?
- It's used to personalise your recommendations, nothing else. See our privacy page for the detail.
