State and Territory Artificial Limb Schemes

State and Territory Artificial Limb Schemes
To find out about the Artificial Limb Scheme in your state or territory, read the information below and click the relevant link in your state or territory. For more information, contact us today.

In Australia, your first (interim) prosthesis, and related prosthetic supports are funded by the health department.

If you are not eligible for other funding programs (e.g. the NDIS, Department of Veterans’ Affairs or an insurance company because of a motor vehicle or workplace accident) your second (definitive) and future prosthesis will continue to be provided by a prosthetic service in your state or territory.

You will also continue to receive other prosthetic service supports, such as socket replacements, reasonable repair and maintenance, and consumables (e.g. shrinkers, liners, stump socks and limb covers if required).
