Government services can also help point you in the right direction:

• The Commonwealth Home Support program provides government support for individuals that need access to services and financial assistance, required for independent living as they age. Some personal alarms are available for free, or at a reduced rate, through this program.
• The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) can also provide funding.
• Veterans can also receive support through their own government program.

Health insurance providers, community services and even manufacturers offer financial support and solutions as well, though this varies.

CHOICE tip: Before you buy, it's worth getting in contact with one of the government departments mentioned above, as well as the company behind the personal alarm, to determine your options. You could end up saving a lot of money.
