The essential safety tool every Australian over 60 should know about

MedicAlert Australia has been a trusted ally for many older Australians over 50 years, empowering them to live confidently with the assurance that their vital health information is accessible in emergencies. 

MedicAlert is more than a medical ID; it’s a comprehensive emergency response system designed to protect you when seconds count. Whether you’re managing chronic conditions and allergies, have devices or implants, or are taking multiple medications, MedicAlert ensures first responders and healthcare professionals have instant access to your critical health information. 

MedicAlert IDs feature QR technology that provides secure, real-time access to your complete medical profile. In emergencies, paramedics can scan the QR code to retrieve essential details such as: 

• Diagnoses and medications 

• Advance care documents, complex treatment plans, and baseline results 

• Emergency contacts. 

This seamless process enables faster, more accurate care, ensuring the best possible outcomes during critical moments. 

MedicAlert is tailored to meet the unique needs of seniors: 

• Instant access to medical information: Your MedicAlert ID features a QR code that paramedics can scan to access vital health details in seconds. 

• 24/7 emergency phone support: Around-the-clock assistance ensures help is always available. 

• Global recognition: Trusted by first responders worldwide, MedicAlert IDs are universally recognised symbols of safety. 

• Home Care, NDIS, and DVA Funding: Eligible members can access funding support for added peace of mind. 

• Timeless designs: A selection of elegant and functional medical jewellery – including sterling silver, 9ct gold, and durable everyday wear – designed to suit your lifestyle with both comfort and peace of mind. 

MedicAlert has transformed countless lives by enabling timely and informed medical interventions: 

• Margaret, who is living with osteoporosis, experienced a fall while at home. Thanks to her MedicAlert Personal Alarm Bundle, the fall was automatically detected, and emergency services were alerted. Paramedics accessed her MedicAlert profile to review her medical history before arriving, ensuring she received the right care immediately.  

• John was unconscious after a car accident, and paramedics scanned his MedicAlert QR ID to access his medical profile. The information revealed he was on blood thinners, which could have complicated his treatment. This allowed the team to adjust their approach and avoid dangerous drug interactions. John’s family was contacted via his MedicAlert profile and kept informed throughout.
