Medical Aids Subsidy Scheme (MASS)
The Medical Aids Subsidy Scheme (MASS) provides funding for medical aids and adaptive equipment to eligible Queensland residents who have a permanent disability. The scheme helps people to live at home and avoid early or inappropriate residential care or hospitalisation.
Adaptive equipment is subsidy funded on a permanent loan basis, through private ownership or the supply of consumables. If you pay for more than 50% of the cost for an item, you can choose to take ownership, rather than having a permanent loan. However, this means that you are responsible for all repairs to that item.
In general, clients may be eligible for assistance under MASS if they:-
* are a permanent resident of Queensland
* have a permanent/stable condition or disability
* hold a pensioner concession card, health care card or Queensland Government Senior Card
* meet specific clinical eligibility criteria relevant to the aid.
Relevant application guidelines and forms for each scheme or aid/equipment provide detailed information regarding eligibility requirements.
