SWEP has
recently reviewed the Victorian Aids & Equipment Program Operational
Policies with regard to how the funding subsidy is applied in the Continence
Aids Program. Our Operational Policies
confirm that each eligible VA&EP consumer can access up to $1,200 over a
12-month period toward the cost of the items listed in the Operational Policies.
This is from the date of their first application
The annual
subsidy for eligible VA&EP consumers to the Continence program will be
calculated from the date of their first application/order received by SWEP
after 01 July 2020 (e.g. if we receive a request for items on 20 August 2020
the subsidy year will run until 19 August 2021).
If you
have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact the SWEP Continence team by
emailing swepcont@bhs.org.au
or phoning 1300 747 937.
