24.01.2022 Your views are important! The Hearing Services Review Panel has provided its interim advice to Government regarding the implementation of the Government’s changes to the Hearing Services Program’s Voucher Scheme, announced in the 202021 Budget. The changes included extending the Voucher period to five years, removing the 12 month warranty period maintenance payment and replacing the annual maintenance payment in advance with quarterly payments in advance. This Interim Advice... assesses potential implementation impacts and provides three policy approaches which could be applied during the implementation period. Each approach aims to support ongoing consumer access to the Voucher Scheme by maintaining a viable provider sector. The analysis includes impacts on consumers and providers in rural and remote areas. ACAud would like your input into the response we intend to present.

19.01.2022 Dear Member The use of telehealth services are becoming more common throughout the world, particularly because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Telehealth describes all ways of receiving healthcare remotely. This can be achieved through the use of telecommunications and digital technology to provide access to audiological services for clients who are not in the same location as the clinician: audiology telehealth. ACAud in collaboration with AudA and the University of Western Aus...tralia are attempting to develop an evidence base for Teleaudiology, we would prefer to help develop the direction that Teleaudiology takes rather than have something forced on us. Please take the time to complete the survey. ACAud members are entitled to claim one CEP for completion of the survey. https://uwa.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_4GBxEQwo5IQkPAh kind regards, ACAud
