## What you need to check

It is for people who use medical equipment at home that a specialist says they need, such as oxygen machines, CPAP machines, feeding pumps and some dialysis machines. You also need a Pensioner Concession Card or Health Care Card. The Commonwealth Seniors Health Card does not count. The amount depends on the machine. A doctor must fill in part of the form. You renew each year.

This is a short summary. Other rules may apply, like income or where you live. Check the full rules with the agency that runs it.

Struggling with this form?

After you sign in on the official site, OPA can go through the form with you, one question at a time. You type your sign-in details yourself.
