(Vic) Lymphoedema Compression Garment Program Update

Where I am you need to have a health care card or meet other strict financial criteria. Unlikely to be me any time soon.
We actually need some national consistency across this. I do have private health insurance, but my annual allowed rebate for garments doesnt even cover one new set per year. I wouldn't be alone in this. Pity help those that have to cover the cost of lower limb garments 

I agree with you both that if we weren't wearing our compression the effect could be dire for every day activities.
