received some enquiries regarding our recent communications in relation to
funding eligibility for consumers who have been accepted for a Home Care
Package (HCP). We apologise for any
confusion with our recent communique and provide this up-date as clarification.
We confirm that
consumers on a Level 1 and 2 HCP remain eligible for Victorian Aids &
Equipment Program (VA&EP) funding, with the exception of the domiciliary
oxygen program.
Consumer's
accepted as eligible, assigned a HCP Level 3 or 4, and who have an active plan
with a HCP Provider, are not eligible
for VA&EP funding, with the
exception of mobility scooters, powered wheelchairs, home modifications and
electronics communication devices.
