Application for a Non-Scheduled Device

Overview

Thank you for your interest in submitting a Non-Scheduled Device Request.  

A service provider must attain prior approval if they wish to fit a device that is: 

• Not listed on the schedule of approved devices 

• A remote control that is over $200 

Approval of a non-scheduled device is only granted for clients with exceptional circumstances such that there is no suitable device on the fully subsidised schedule. The request must include supporting documentation in addition to concrete clinical justification for the requested device. 

Please ensure you have the following documentation ready to upload as you complete your application: 

• Audiogram 

• Device quote from the device manufacturer  

• Device specifications 

Additional supporting documentation may be required depending on the requested device and the client’s circumstances.  

It is expected that an application for a ‘non-scheduled device’ is clinically assessed within 5 working days of receipt of all required information. 

Please review the Fully Subsidised Device Schedule and Partially Subsidised Device Schedule for a list of the current scheduled devices. 

Note: Clients seeking an implanted bone anchored hearing aid should be referred to CSO.
