Where the item cannot be provided through RAP, or the client does not hold a DVA Health Card, consideration may be given to whether the aid or appliance can be provided though a rehabilitation program. The requested aid or appliance must be reasonably required by the client to meet their needs or enable them to reach their rehabilitation goals. Refer to section 10.3 in this library.
In some circumstances, aids and appliances may be provided to serving members where Defence remains the person’s rehabilitation authority. Refer to section 10.8 in this library.
