Some of the main updates to the schedule include:

  • revised section on Managing Data Breaches
  • clarification of requirements when transferring a client record to a new provider
  • new requirements added to replace a spare device that is no longer suitable due to a significant change in hearing threshold levels.

The Schedule of Service Items and Fees 2024–25 includes a table outlining all changes in Part 6.

Due to the minimal changes in this Schedule, there won’t be a transition period. Changes must be in place by 1 July 2025.
