Friendly Trained Staff

It’s the human touch of MePACS personal alarms that ensures you are guaranteed a fast response by real people 24/7.

With a MePACS personal alarm, help is only 2 minutes away once you have pressed the button. Our friendly team are ready to get you the appropriate help at any time of the day or night.

We know that family may not always be available to help 24/7, so you can rely on MePACS to give you true peace of mind and help you feel safe in your own home.

Unlike auto dialler alarms, we are able to share the emergency information with 000 who can then prioritise the call to the client. 

Our personal alarm service offers:

  • Guaranteed 24/7 Fast Response
  • We keep in touch with you until help has arrived
  • Personal Alarms for both home and away
  • Works independently of the NBN so no need for a phone line
  • No lock-in contract
  • Key lock safes available
  • High levels of client satisfaction

Nominated Personal Alarm Contacts

When you join our personal alarm service, you can nominate up to 4 contacts, who we can call for assistance in the event of an emergency or to check on your well-being. These contacts need to live within 30 minutes from you. They should be someone who is known to you such as a family member, friend or trusted neighbour and ideally have a key to your home. It can be a good idea to get a key lock for extra security.

“MePACS saved my life.”

Ron was at home alone having a midday rest when all of a sudden he was so badly overcome by pain that he couldn’t move.

“I had suffered a major arterial blood clot, which cut off blood to my heart and brain and totally incapacitated me. Luckily I had my MePACS personal alarm on me and was able to press the button for help.”
