The paper summarises key issues raised by educators and other service providers relevant to anticipating and responding to those changes, based on experience of the COVID-19 impacts on remote communities and schools through 2020.

YETI particularly encourages those with first-hand experience in remote Indigenous settings to comment on, add to, and critique these findings. Respondents’ anonymity will be respected in collated feedback that they will attempt to make available in a timely way so as to inform service planning through 2021. In the context of limited evidence, YETI need to listen to voices with experience and they encourage you to add yours.

Hearing Australia has primarily provided to clients that are eligible to be seen under the Australian Government Hearing Services Program (the Program).  

There are two components to the Program:

1. Voucher
2. Community Services Obligations (CSO).

Hearing Australia's desire is to help all Australians receive the hearing help and advice they need.

They regularly receive referrals from GPs and are contacted by self-funded adult clients asking us to provide an option on hearing loss. 

Hearing Australia is proud to advise, as of October 2020, that any clients who are not eligible under Australian Government Hearing Services Program, can now receive services under their ‘Fee for Service’ program. 

Hearing Australia will do this by providing a full hearing assessment, (consultation fee applies) and if required, ongoing advice and devices suitable for individual life choices. 

GPs are encouraged to continue to refer patients to Hearing Australia including all those eligible under the Australian Government Hearing Services Program and now self-funded adult clients directly.
