Dear Practitioners
In accordance with the supplier contracts we hold for non-customised, assistive technology equipment, each year a CPI increase is applied. The increase for 2024 is set at 3% and we are working to review and up-date applications, the SWEP portal and our online equipment catalogue. We are pleased to advise however, that not all suppliers have increased their prices and/or all items on their contract, meaning some items will remain at the same price.
SWEP will conduct a review of applications as follows:-
Applications with a status of Waitlist
- Those within subsidy will require no further action
- Consumers with applications that are now above the subsidy or where a previous gap amount was confirmed, will receive a letter from us to advise of the new or increased gap funding required.
Applications with a status of Awaiting Top Up
- If the gap funding has increased, we will communicate this to the consumer to obtain an updated confi8rmation of gap funding form.
- If for any reason you need to review an application, please email swepimt@gh.org.au to request that we return the application to draft
Regards
SWEP Leadership Team
