The National Disability Insurance Scheme provides funding for eligible amputees under the age of 65 at the time of registration. Provided you have registered with the NDIS prior to being 65 you will continue to be funded. The team at APC Prosthetics have vast experience in navigating this scheme to ensure our client’s prosthetic care is optimised. See our guide here.

Patients with an insurance claim will be assessed comprehensively by a multidisciplinary team to determine the prosthetic management plan.
Once approval has been granted by your case manager, we will commence the prosthetics treatment immediately.
