Latest Press Release

New Automated Welfare Call Service
Helps Keep Elderly Australians Safe and Connected
With elderly Australians often living alone, social isolation and missed check-ins can lead to serious concerns for families. CareAlert, a leader in personal safety alarms, has launched an Automated Welfare Call Service—a simple, cost-effective solution to ensure loved ones are safe, even when life gets busy.
For less than 30 cents per day, this service provides scheduled welfare or medication reminder calls, offering peace of mind for families and reassurance for elderly Australians living independently.
“Too often, elderly individuals are forgotten or unintentionally neglected due to busy schedules,” says Darren Steele, Manager of CareAlert. “This service ensures they receive a daily check-in, reducing the risk of extended periods without contact.”
How It Works
• Set up to two calls per day – Choose the days and times that best suit your loved one (available 24/7).
• Available in 10 languages – Including Chinese, Greek, Italian + more.
• Simple confirmation – The recipient of the call simply presses any key on their phone to confirm they are okay.
• Instant alerts – If a call goes unanswered, an emergency contact is instantly notified via phone call, email and optional SMS.
• No contracts, no hidden fees – Cancel anytime.
Unlike mobile apps or complicated technology, the welfare calls work on any landline or mobile phone, ensuring ease of use for elderly Australians who may not be tech-savvy.
Families can now sign up within minutes via the CareAlert website:
