Medical Aids Subsidy Scheme (MASS)
The Medical Aids Subsidy Scheme (MASS) helps eligible Queenslanders live at home rather than face early or inappropriate hospitalisation or residential care.
MASS subsidises aids and equipment, so you may need to meet some of the purchase cost or buy additional aids or pay for modifications. Aids and equipment are subsidy funded on a permanent loan basis, private ownership or through the purchase of consumables.
MASS covers:
- communication aids—artificial larynges, communication software, speech generating devices and voice amplification devices
- continence aids—disposable pads, nappies, reusable pants, catheters, sheaths, leg drainage bags and night drainage bags
- daily living aids—such as bath boards, mobile floor hoists, mobile shower chairs, non-mobile commodes, pressure reduction mattresses and transfer benches
- home oxygen—concentrator machines and cylinders
- medical grade footwear—customised, custom-made and prefabricated footwear
- mobility aids—manual or powerdrive wheelchairs, wheeled walking aids and pressure reduction cushions
- orthoses—lower limb or spinal orthotic devices.
