How much will Medicare pay for a mobility scooter?

Medicare usually is not the main payer for a mobility scooter in Australia. Funding depends on your personal situation and may instead come from other programs, private cover, veterans’ support, NDIS, or state-based assistance. Some people receive full or partial help, while others pay most of the cost themselves. The amount covered can vary a lot, and approval may be required before purchase. It is important not to assume the scooter will be fully funded. Check the rules that apply to your circumstances before choosing a model so you do not buy something that is outside the funding limit.
