Funding your prosthetic and orthotic care
Funding can depend on your circumstances, clinical needs and the support available through your plan or scheme.
We can help you understand the next steps, including assessments, reports and quotes.
Funding we work with
-
Flex Prosthetics is a registered NDIS provider, supporting people with self-managed, plan-managed and NDIA-managed funding. We work with you and your support team to assess your prosthetic and orthotic needs and prepare the clinical reports and quotes required for funding requests. Services and equipment depend on your individual plan and approved funding.
-
The Lifetime Care and Support Scheme funds treatment, rehabilitation and care for eligible people severely injured in a motor accident in NSW, regardless of who was at fault. Prosthetic and orthotic support may be funded where it relates to the accepted injury and meets the scheme’s requirements.
-
CTP Care provides funding for ongoing treatment and care for eligible people with long-term injuries following a NSW motor accident. For eligible claims, responsibility for treatment and care payments transfers from the CTP insurer to icare after five years. Prosthetic and orthotic support remains subject to assessment and approval.

People with severe workplace injuries may receive treatment and care support through icare’s Workers Care Program. Funding depends on the claim, clinical needs and the relevant approval requirements.

This may include a first prosthesis following amputation, ongoing prosthetic care, repairs and consumables, depending on individual eligibility. Access involves an accredited amputee clinic and approved prosthetic service providers.

You can also choose to fund your care privately. We’ll discuss suitable options and provide a quote before treatment proceeds. If you have private health insurance, check directly with your insurer about any benefits, limits and out-of-pocket costs.
Whether your plan is self-managed, plan-managed or agency-managed, we'll work with you and your support team to keep things simple.
Get in touch: contact us or have your support coordinator reach out. We'll talk through your goals and your current plan.
Assessment: we assess your needs, your residual limb and your current prosthesis, and discuss the options that suit you.
Report and quote: we prepare the clinical documentation and quote needed for your funding request.
Fitting and support: once funding is approved, we move ahead with your prosthesis, plus ongoing reviews and adjustments.
