Funding Options
​
At Gaps Audiology, we understand that hearing aids are an important investment in your quality of life. To help make hearing care more accessible, there are a range of funding options available depending on your eligibility and individual circumstances.
Government-Funded
Hearing Service Program(HSP)
If you are a pensioner, DVA cardholder, or hold other eligible Centrelink benefits, you may qualify for free or subsidised hearing services through Australian Government's Hearing Services Program.
This includes hearing assessments, fitting of fully subsidised hearing aids, and ongoing device maintenance and support​. We are accredited to provide services under this program and can assist you with checking your eligibility and completing the application process.
Depatment of Veteran's Affairs (DVA)
Eligible veterans and war widow/widowers may access fully funded hearing aids and services through DVA. We can work directly with DVA to ensure you receive the hearing support you're entitled to.
