  1. Making Tunstall Healthcare’s Personal Alarms in Australia More Accessible Through Personal AlertSA Tunstall Healthcare’s personal alarms and monitoring solutions are made available to more Australians, specifically those who live in South Australia, through Personal AlertSA (PASA). Here’s what you need to know about personal alarms in South Australia and how you can start applying for PASA.

  2. What is Personal AlertSA? Personal AlertSA is a government project funded by South Australia that aims to improve eligible South Australians’ access to personal alarms and monitoring solutions. Through the initiative, the South Australian Government aspires to improve the lives of its constituents who need long-term medical assistance. Personal alarms and monitoring solutions are compact, handy devices people can easily carry around. These devices allow their wearers to call for help during accidents or emergencies. They are widely used by many Australians, as these devices empower people to live independently and safely in a place of their choosing. Can I get a personal alarm through PASA? Aside from being a South Australian resident, you have to meet a few requirements to be eligible for a personal alarm through PASA. You are also required to be at least 75 years, and you must also have a Centrelink or Department of Veterans’ Affairs Pensioner Concession card. In addition to the three items above, you must also be assessed and approved by My Aged Care for the following four items:
