The two most common are those Aussies who hold a Pensioner Concession Card, or a Veterans Affairs Gold or White Card.(2) We suggest speaking with one of our experts to see if you qualify
- If you receive a hearing device under this program, you can also obtain maintenance of your hearing device, and a supply of batteries (if needed, some modern hearing aids are rechargeable) for a small yearly fee.(3) Get started today!
