Further Award Information:
The Ministry of Health procured a supplier to manage and administer provision of hearing aid services nationwide. Since 2011 funding has been allocated through two funding streams which are set out in the Hearing Aid Services Notice 2018 (issued under Section 88 of the New Zealand Public Health and Disability Act 2000). The Hearing Aid Funding Scheme is for all children who have a hearing loss, adults who have had severe hearing loss since childhood or have a dual disability (such as hearing loss and a severe visual impairment), and adults who hold a Community Services Card and are working (including seeking work), studying or caring for a dependent person, are able to receive fully funded hearing aids once for each ear within a six year period. This funding covers the cost of the actual hearing aids and hearing aid repairs; it does not include the cost of any audiology services received in the public or private sector. The Hearing Aid Subsidy Scheme is for all adults who have a hearing loss which is not covered by the Hearing Aid Funding Scheme above, or any other government funding schemes. Eligible people may access Ministry funding towards the hearing aid(s) recommended for them by a member of the New Zealand Audiological Society. The agreement awarded is for three years with an optional two years right of renewal.
