Personal Alarms for the Elderly and Lone Workers

What is a medical alert pendant?
A medical alert pendant is a small, wearable device that lets the wearer call for help with a single hold of the panic button. It is typically worn around the neck or on the wrist and connects to carers or our 24/7 professional monitoring team through the mobile network.
Important note for pacemaker users: Discuss with your doctor prior to using these products – further information here.
Which personal alarm is right for the person you’re supporting?
Not everyone needs the same device, so it helps to think about how the wearer lives and moves.
- GPS pendant or watch with GPS: If the person spends time out and about, a GPS model lets the carer network or monitoring team know where they are when an alarm is raised, so help can be directed to the right place.
- Wearability and comfort: Pendants are easy to wear around the neck, while watches sit naturally on the wrist. Choose the option the person will be most comfortable wearing every day.
- Lifestyle fit: Consider whether they are mostly at home, or often out walking, driving, or running errands. The right choice depends on how and where they spend their time.
How the Safe-Life team supports you
From choosing the right device to setting it up, the Safe-Life team is here to help. We provide phone-based setup support to make sure the alarm is working correctly before the wearer needs it, and we are available to answer any questions along the way. All prices include GST, and every alarm comes with a 30-day money-back trial.
How this category works
What is a personal alarm?
A personal alarm is a small, portable safety device that lets the wearer call for help during an emergency.
It can be worn as a pendant, watch or carried as a discrete personal safety alarm, and is commonly used as a
personal medical alarm or personal alarm for elderly Australians.
Safe-Life personal alarms include 4G mobile pendants, personal safety alarms, medical alert watches and phone-connected devices.
Many models support automatic fall detection, GPS location sharing and two-way voice calls, so help can be reached quickly when needed.
How do personal alarms work?
Personal alarm systems follow a simple process so the user can get help with minimal steps:
- The user presses the SOS button or the device detects a fall on supported fall alarms.
- The personal alarm sends an alert via 4G mobile, Wi-Fi or a compatible home monitoring receiver.
- Emergency contacts receive a phone call, SMS or app notification, depending on the alarm type.
- Location data, such as GPS coordinates, can be shared to help contacts find the user faster.
- Many alarms also allow two-way voice communication through the pendant or watch so the user can talk hands free.
Safe-Life 4G personal mobile alarms operate wherever there is mobile coverage in Australia, so no landline is required and Wi-Fi is only needed for specific app-based options.
Who are personal alarms designed for?
Safe-Life personal alarm systems for the elderly and others are used by:
- Seniors who want to stay independent at home with a reliable safety backup
- People with disability, including NDIS participants, who need a simple personal emergency alarm
- Carers and families supporting loved ones living alone or at risk of falls
- Lone workers and community support staff who require a discreet duress or panic alarm
- Retirement villages, SDA homes and aged-care providers needing compliant emergency alert systems
- Anyone who wants a personal safety alarm for day to day security and peace of mind
