24/7 Emergency response by trained professionals
MePACS is an approved personal alarm provider to the Personal Alert SA scheme (PASA).
Our personal alarms are monitored 24/7 by trained professionals, who respond to every call within 2 minutes and take immediate action as needed. The monitors quickly assess the situation, organise the appropriate help and provide all the relevant information to emergency services as necessary.
With our easy-to-use personal alarm, with falls detection, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that you are in safe hands.
Please read below for more information on the PASA scheme funding options for MePACS personal alarms.
Additional options that are not funded as part of the PASA scheme can be purchased privately.

Tech installation: If you order a tech installation for a MePACS home alarm (cost: $140), we can install the keylock for free at the same time. Only available in metro areas.
Self-installation: If you order the keylock at the same time as your MePACS alarm, we will post the keylock to you for free with the alarm. You can then install it yourself at your chosen location.
