How can the program help me?

The Australian Government Hearing Services Program (the Program), funds the Office of Hearing Services (the Office) to manage the issuing of vouchers to eligible clients so you can access a range of hearing services. The Office also administers the provision of hearing services under the community service obligations program.

Hearing services may include:

a comprehensive hearing assessment performed by a qualified hearing practitioner;
access to a wide range of quality Free to Client hearing devices, made by leading manufacturers;
if you are fitted with a hearing device, you will receive advice on how to achieve maximum benefit from your device;
further support and hearing rehabilitation services, which can be accessed even if a hearing device is not suitable to your hearing needs;
access to an optional annual maintenance agreement where, for a small fee, you can receive repairs and batteries to support your hearing device. For further information see Maintenance Agreements.

All services delivered under the Program are completed by qualified hearing practitioners with appropriate skills.
