A selection of FULLY FUNDED hearing aid models and styles are available.  Or, government subsidy can be applied towards advanced models if a client wishes.

Medicare Rebates

With a medical referral, patients can receive a Medicare rebate of between $35.40 to $108.05 for hearing assessments (excluding wax removal). Rebate is available for child and adult tests. Patients must claim the rebate from Medicare directly.

HiCAPS is not available on audiology.  We advise clients contact their Health Fund to see if their policy is eligible for rebates on audiology service and hearing devices.
