"Older Victorians who use the Personal Alert Victoria service will now have simpler, streamlined access to state-funded personal alarm units. Minister for Senior Victorians Lisa Neville announced that the Personal Alert Victoria (PAV) service will be delivered through one statewide provider, Peninsula Health, from mid-2009. The Brumby Government is contributing $9.05 million to PAV in 2008/09, an increase of $400,000 on 2007/08.“As well, a further 1000 frail elderly and people with disabilities will get these potentially life-saving push button pendants or wrist alarms,” Ms Neville said."
