Hi Fran, I have a 2010/2011 Discounts & Concessions Guide for TASMANIA. This is where I did my Radiation at Holman Clinic, (wonderful people). Under the health section it says 'Some financial assisstance to buy wigs is available to cancer and alopecia patients who are referred by a doctor and who have a Centrelink Pensioner Concession Card or Centrelink Health Care Card."
There ia a number to phone for further inquiries.
1300 135 513. I guess it may differ state to state?

I had my Chemo at petermac in Melbourne and the Volunteers there (beautiful people) gave me a wig free of charge!! In the end I was hot and sick from Chemo and have only worn it a couple of times.
As to Centrelink, DONT expect ANY help from them whatsoever!! Been there, done that! It was as if I had a broken leg, Id be over it soon. No quarter given for any emotional damage. They did give me a Newstart Allowance whilst still expecting me to attend a Job Assessment interview. I have since been through an ARO etc, but,, But, no, dont get your hopes up. Hope this helps someone.
