Information for Providers
Urgent Voucher Request
The Office of Hearing Services frequently receives requests for a Voucher application to be considered urgent.
The Office requires all urgent applications to be accompanied with a cover sheet explaining the reasons for urgency and advising of the booked or proposed date of appointment, and contact details for the hearing centre.
In the past a fax cover sheet was made available to service providers that could be used when requesting an urgent Voucher. As it has been very successful, the Urgent Voucher Request Form has been re-designed to make it clearer and hopefully easier to use.
It should be noted that any application forms that are posted or faxed to OHS stamped Urgent, but with no explanation of the urgency, will not be considered for urgent processing.
