24/11/2008 - Federal Govt funding may be available for 'tools of trade' such as an electronic stethoscope that amplifies sound and reduces ambient noise if you are hearing impaired.

There is a Federal Govt. Dept called Work Access.  It is possible that they would reimburse 100% of the cost of an amplified stethoscope under the 'Workplace Modification Scheme' but only if it could be demonstrated that

a) the person has a disability (i.e. hearing loss) and that

b) the item is only of use in the workplace. 

The application for reimbursement needs to be from the employer, the 'service provider' or a 'vocational......'. 

The application process details can be found in the 'Workplace Modification Scheme'.  The attached link provides the details.
