Hundreds of Australians with personal medical alarms will receive financial assistance to update their technology as part of a trial coinciding with the NBN rollout.
The NBN Co will trial an assistance program with up to 400 people using the devices - which alert family or friends to a medical emergency via a phone call - as they switch over to the network.
The trial will help determine what support and change is necessary for people who have been using alarms reliant on a fixed-line connection.
