Living with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, our client Jess, an actress, writer, and model from Melbourne, has found renewed confidence and security with her MePACS personal alarm. Whether she’s at home or on the move, Jess knows she’s never alone.
“When I decided to live independently, I knew I needed a reliable way to call for help in case of a medical emergency. Moving out for the first time and having 24/7 support from MePACS was crucial for my peace of mind,” Jess reveals.
In addition to her artistic pursuits, Jess is a passionate disability advocate. She actively shares her experiences to educate and support other NDIS participants and their families, demonstrating her commitment to the community.
“I wholeheartedly recommend MePACS to others, especially young people living with disabilities. We all desire freedom and choice, and with NDIS-funded support, I didn’t have to worry about the financial burden,” Jess says.
“With my MePACS alarm around my neck, I can quickly press the button if I need help. Even if I can’t communicate clearly, the MePACS team knows something is wrong and will call for assistance.”
Peace of mind with MePACS
Because MePACS is an approved NDIS provider, the cost of Jess’s personal alarm is fully covered by her NDIS funding, so she is free to pursue her goals without worrying about the cost of the alarm or the monthly monitoring fees.
“The alarm is small and discreet, so I don’t feel self-conscious wearing it. Whether I’m at home or out, I know I’m covered in a medical emergency. I can communicate directly with the MePACS emergency response team, who will summon the most appropriate help, whether it’s my family or emergency services,” Jess shares.
“Knowing that MePACS is looking out for my safety lifts a huge weight off my shoulders.”
