Regulation Impact Statement – Department of Health
On 6 October, the Australian Government announced changes to the Voucher stream of the Hearing Services Program (HSP).
The current HSP model does not always deliver services aligned with clinical need and contemporary service delivery, nor does it account for significant advancements in hearing aid technology. These reforms are designed to improve service delivery for consumers, ensure providers can meet the increasing demand for hearing services and enhance government efficiency of the HSP model.
