What is a personal emergency alarm system?
A personal emergency alarm system is a wearable pendant, wristband or mobile device that connects to a 24/7 monitoring centre, either by a manual button press or an automatic fall-detection sensor, alerting a call centre or nominated contact when help is needed. Under the Assistive Technology and Home Modifications (AT-HM) Scheme, a basic alarm sits in the Low-cost tier, funded up to $500 (Department of Health and Aged Care, 2025).
How to choose a provider for this service
The list above is ranked using the criteria explained in the methodology section above. Four checks matter most when you compare personal alarm providers yourself.
Registration. Confirm the supplier is NDIS registered on the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission provider register, or is an approved Support at Home provider listed with My Aged Care, before signing a monitoring contract.
Response time. A fall is not something you want a provider to be slow about at enquiry stage either. Check the response-time-by-state table further down this page before you commit.
Pricing transparency. Ask whether the quote covers the device purchase, the ongoing monitoring subscription, or both, since providers often quote just one of the two.
Coverage. Carevo lists 28,038 providers nationally, but not every one stocks monitored alarms, so confirm your shortlisted provider actually supplies and installs this specific system in your area.
Which funding pays for a personal emergency alarm, and who qualifies?
Older Australians assessed through My Aged Care can access a personal alarm two ways: as a Low-cost AT-HM item, usually without a detailed occupational therapy assessment, or, for a monitored system with an ongoing subscription, funded from their regular Support at Home budget once they hold a classification (Department of Health and Aged Care, 2025). NDIS participants can fund a personal alarm under the Assistive Technology support category where their plan identifies a safety or independence need, confirmed by their planner or a treating professional. DVA-eligible veterans can access equivalent devices through the DVA Rehabilitation Appliances Program.
Availability across Australia
Carevo lists 4,782 suburbs with active provider coverage nationally, with the heaviest concentration of aged care and NDIS assistive technology suppliers in New South Wales and Victoria. If your situation also involves memory or safety concerns beyond a fall alarm, compare cognitive support and memory aids providers, or start with a full assistive technology assessment if you are unsure which device fits your needs.
