Australian-owned and family-founded.
Practical emergency kits, outdoor gear and essentials designed to help everyday Australians prepare for the unexpected.
Preparedness made practical.
PrepMates was founded by husband-and-wife team Tom and Jessi after personal experiences highlighted just how quickly everyday life can change during an emergency.
What started as a way to better prepare our own family grew into something much bigger — helping households, workplaces, organisations and communities take practical steps to prepare for the unexpected.
Based on the Gold Coast, Queensland, we created PrepMates around one simple belief: getting prepared shouldn't need to be complicated.
Australian founded. Family built.Preparedness is about people, not just products.
Tom & Jessi.
Husband and wife. Parents. And the people behind PrepMates.
Between us, our backgrounds span business, trades, operations, product development, customer experience and emergency preparedness.
That combination shapes how we approach PrepMates today: practical products, thoughtful solutions and a genuine focus on helping people feel more capable and prepared.
Simple ideas that guide everything we do.
Practical.
Preparedness shouldn't feel overwhelming. We focus on useful gear and straightforward solutions for real-world situations.
Inclusive.
Emergencies affect everyone differently. Good preparedness should recognise individual needs, circumstances and capabilities.
Ready.
From emergency kits to outdoor gear and essential supplies, we want our products to be there when they're needed most.
More than just products.
We believe preparedness extends beyond the products we sell. PrepMates takes part in community, emergency preparedness and resilience initiatives that help build stronger, more prepared communities.
Preparedness in action.
We're proud to have supplied and supported organisations, community initiatives and programs across Australia and the Pacific.
Make preparedness easier.
We can't prevent storms, floods, bushfires, blackouts or other emergencies from happening. What we can do is help more people be prepared when they do.
