As a long term provider of support services for disabled people in the area of Prosthetics and orthotics I wish to give some feedback on the Victorian Aids and Equipment Program.
The funding is no doubt helpful to eligible people whom have long term or permanent diabilities. In brief my suggestions for the scheme are:

·        Means testing or have a Statutory declaration for eligibility for funding through the program
·        Have a way of determining the urgency of funding applications
·        A clear outline of which Medical and health professionals can submit applications and how the services / goods are delivered
·        Only professionals whom have met particular criteria can supply services and goods through the program

I hope this small piece of feedback is useful and I am happy to supply more feedback if required.
