Australian Thalidomide Survivors Support Program
You may be able to get financial support under the Australian Thalidomide Survivors Support Program.
We provide financial support for Australian thalidomide survivors through both the:
- Extraordinary Assistance Fund (EAF)
- Health Care Assistance Fund (HCAF).
To get this support you need to be both:
- a recognised Australian thalidomide survivor, registered with the Australian Thalidomide Survivors Support Program
- eligible for Medicare.
