About MedicAlert Foundation - New Zealand Incorporated

The Foundations Emergency Information Services protect lives, prevent harm and provide a voice for people in an emergency. We deliver secure digital services as well.

By becoming a Member of the Foundation, you become entitled to benefit from the Foundations Charitable Supplies at Charitable Rates, which include vital 24/7 Digital Emergency Identity and Health Information Services, supported with a personal custom engraved Emergency Access Indicia (Medical ID).

Being a Charity, we accept Donations and Members make an annual fee payment, to enable legal compliance and ongoing operational and service deliverables that help keep you safe, and provide you with access to review and update your vital information when you need.

The Foundations services are clinically trusted, provide medically actionable information and are long proven.

In 2022, ACC reported it had over 9 billion dollars in treatment harm related future costs, with over $550 million in new cost being added annually.

The Foundations Services target health consumer safety and prevention of avoidable harm, keeping people safe and reducing the cost of harm to Government and particularly those vulnerable to being harmed.

People across the full demographic range are exposed to health risks, from young children such as Heart Kids, through to those in later age with Alzheimer's or Dementia. Including possibly you, as you discover your own health impediments or disabilities as you move through life, like Diabetes, a Heart Condition, a Rare Disease or other problem.

We go with you, where ever you go.

If you have an ongoing Health Problem, Allergy or require a Medical Warning or Alert, the Foundation stands apart as the most recognised, accessible and trusted provider of Emergency Health Information in New Zealand.

With MedicAlert Services, our Members and their families know they can have Peace of Mind and we can be their voice when they cannot speak.
