Rebates & Support

Our Commitment to Access

As a charity, Hear and Say relies on the generosity of our community, government, and philanthropic partners to provide life-changing services.

We never want cost to prevent someone from accessing support. If you are concerned about fees, our team will work with you to explore funding pathways and find a way forward.

Funding Types

NDIS Funding

Hear and Say is a registered provider under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), with many of our services eligible for funding.

We support families at every stage of their NDIS journey — from applying for the first time, to preparing for planning meetings, to making the most of their funding.

How payments work:

  • Self-managed plans: Payment is required on the day of your appointment.
  • Plan-managed plans: We send invoices directly to your nominated plan manager.
  • NDIA-managed plans: We claim payment directly from the NDIS.

Medicare Rebates

Some services at Hear and Say are eligible for Medicare rebates. When booking your appointment, our team will let you know if a rebate applies and explain any out-of-pocket costs.

If a referral from your GP or specialist is required, we’ll guide you through the process.

Private Health Funds

Depending on your level of cover, you may be able to claim a rebate through your private health fund.

This often includes:

  • Hearing aids
  • Cochlear implants
  • Audiology testing
  • Therapy services


Because every policy is different, we recommend checking with your health fund to confirm what is included.

Pensioner & Veteran Support

Hear and Say is accredited under the Australian Government Hearing Services Program to provide fully subsidised hearing services and hearing aids to eligible pensioners and veterans.

Our team can help you check your eligibility and explain how the program works.
