Many Pensioners and Veterans are eligible for free services under the Australian Government's  Hearing Services Program (HSP).  Under this program, eligible clients are issued with a voucher for hearing services. Melbourne Audiology Centre is an approved service provider for this program. Your client should be eligible for the Hearing Services Program (HSP) if they are an Australian citizen or permanent resident 21 years or older, and you are:

• Pensioner Concession Card Holder;

• Receiving Sickness Allowance from Centrelink;

• The holder of a Gold Repatriation Health Card issued for all conditions;

• The holder of a White Repatriation Health Card issued for hearing loss;

• A dependent of a person in one of the above categories;

• A member of the Australian Defence Force.

Please refer them to Melbourne Audiology Centre and we can confirm their eligibility and provide the hearing services which include a free comprehensive hearing assessment.  Following the assessment, the audiologist will make the appropriate recommendations based on the degree of hearing loss and the hearing and communication difficulties experienced by the patient.  If hearing aids are recommended, a range of fully subsidized and partially subsidized hearing aid options will be discussed so that the patient can make an informed choice.

Please don't hesitate to contact us on 1300 761 021 if you have any questions about the program or your patients' eligibility to the program.
