Hearing services, the NDIS and the Hearing Services Program
Most adult hearing care in Australia is delivered through the Australian Government Hearing Services Program (HSP) rather than the NDIS — eligible pensioners and concession-card holders can access subsidised hearing assessments and hearing aids through accredited providers like Audika. It's worth checking your HSP eligibility first, as it often covers the bulk of hearing-aid costs.
The NDIS funds hearing supports where hearing loss is part of a participant's disability and the supports are reasonable and necessary — this can include audiology assessments, hearing devices, and rehabilitation. Children with hearing loss are generally supported through Hearing Australia and the HSP's community service obligations rather than the NDIS. If you're an NDIS participant, your planner or support coordinator can help work out whether hearing supports sit in your plan or are better accessed through the HSP.
A hearing assessment establishes the type and degree of any hearing loss and whether hearing aids or other devices would help. If aids are recommended, the audiologist fits and programs them to your hearing profile, then provides follow-up tuning, accessories, repairs and maintenance over the life of the devices. Many clinics, including Audika, offer free initial hearing checks so you can understand your hearing before committing to anything.
Audika operates as an unregistered NDIS provider, which means plan-managed and self-managed participants can use the clinic directly. Agency-managed participants needing NDIS-funded hearing supports should confirm the funding pathway with their plan manager or support coordinator before booking.
What to ask before choosing an NDIS provider
Before signing a service agreement with any NDIS provider, including Audika Hearing Clinic Murray Bridge, it’s worth having a conversation about a few key things. What are the hourly rates, including loadings for evenings, weekends and public holidays? What cancellation fees apply, and what notice period do they require? Who will your regular support worker or practitioner be, and what happens if they’re sick or on leave? How does the provider handle complaints? These questions are standard — any reputable provider will have clear answers.
If Audika Hearing Clinic Murray Bridge is registered with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission, they’re bound by the NDIS Code of Conduct and must meet service standards audited by approved quality auditors. This covers everything from worker screening to incident reporting. Unregistered providers can still be used by plan-managed and self-managed participants but aren’t subject to the same oversight.
It’s also worth understanding your service agreement before you sign it. The agreement should clearly state the supports being delivered, the price per hour or unit, any cancellation policy, how travel charges are handled, and how either party can end the agreement. Under the NDIS, you can usually change providers, subject to the notice and cancellation terms in your service agreement. If a provider’s service agreement doesn’t include a reasonable exit clause, that’s worth questioning.
If you’re unsure about any aspect of choosing a provider, your support coordinator or local area coordinator (LAC) can help. They can explain what to look for, accompany you to initial meetings, and assist with setting up service agreements that protect your interests. Keeping records of your interactions with providers — save invoices, note key conversations, and track whether the services delivered match what was agreed — will make plan reviews smoother and provide evidence if you ever need to raise a complaint.
