MedicAlert in New Zealand We began in New Zealand 40 years ago, and we now have an expanding membership of 125,000,with links right around the world. We are a non-profit charitable foundation with a tight administrative team directed by a board with solid medical and business credentials. Our Medical Advisory Board of practitioners and specialists in various fields of medicine are referred to on a regular basis to ensure information is being correctly recorded. The care we take, and that strong medical backing, ensures our members receive a quality service. We are also determined that no-one should be refused our services because they cannot afford to pay. There are other alternatives for joining MedicAlert for those who genuinely cannot afford to pay.
