NABS is free to people who are over 65 years old and don't have NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme). This program is funded by the Australian Government Department of Social Services. 

- GP and specialists

Under 65 with NDIS plans - for any appointment including healthcare   

If you have NDIS, NABS can provide Auslan interpreting from your NDIS plan. We can book for any appointment type including health appointments, employment, accountant, gym, puppy school, vet, church services, etc. 

 

Under 65 and not eligible for NDIS

If you are under 65 and can't get NDIS (not eligible), NABS can't provide free Auslan interpreting.  NABS can provide interpreting but you pay.
