Funding
Options to help you Hear Life
Private Health Insurance
You may be eligible for a rebate from your Health Insurer to cover some of the costs of a hearing assessment or hearing aids. Check with your insurer or ask us for advice.
Medicare
If you have a referral from an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist or a Neurologist, Medicare rebates may apply.
If you have a Chronic Disease Management Plan via your GP, Medicare can rebate Audiology services under Chronic Disease Management Items. Please check on the Medicare Website or contact us for more information.
Australian Government Hearing Services Program
Currently we are not registered providers under the Australian Government Hearing Services Program. If you are on a government pension, please contact us to see what options are available.
National Disability Insurance Scheme
We are more than happy to provide services if you have a "self-managed" NDIS plan. Please speak to your NDIS plan manager or refer to the NDIS website for more information.
Job Access
JobAccess helps people with disability find and keep jobs, get promoted to better jobs, upgrade or expand their workplace skills, and more. Available support provides information to help you get Australian Government financial support for workplace modifications, details of other government support, tips on looking for and changing jobs, understanding your workplace and flexible working arrangements, how to feel comfortable about disclosing your disability and talking to colleagues about your disability, links to training and development courses and how to search for current vacancies.
Whilst JobAccess won't cover the cost of hearing aids, it can help subsidise assistive listening devices including workplace phones and bluetooth devices.
