Adults who are eligible (see Eligibility) to become an Australian Hearing client need to apply for a voucher. Application forms are available from GPs, health centres and Australian Hearing centres.

Australian Hearing services are free apart for a small annual fee for batteries and maintenance. Many high-quality hearing devices are also free, but clients can choose to contribute towards the cost of higher technology devices with more features.
