Helping You Access the Hearing Care You Deserve
At Local Hearing Aid Specialists, we believe everyone deserves to hear well and enjoy life without financial stress. That’s why we offer a range of funding and payment options to make hearing care more affordable and accessible for all Australians.
Whether you are a pensioner, a private client, an NDIS participant, or someone needing support through workers’ compensation, we are here to guide you through your options and make the process simple.

Private Clients and Health Insurance
If you are not eligible for government funding, you can still access our services privately. Many of our clients are self-funded and choose us for our quality care, affordable pricing, and personalised attention.
Private Health Insurance Rebates
If you have private health cover, you may be eligible for a rebate on your hearing aids or devices. We recommend checking your individual policy with your health fund to confirm your entitlements before purchasing.
Our team is happy to provide a quote and help with any paperwork your insurer may need.

We can help guide you through the process, including:
