Lowering costs for laryngectomy patients in South Australia
The Laryngectomy Consumables Scheme will be available from mid-2026, enabling eligible patients to access devices such as Heat Moisture Exchangers (HMEs), voice prosthesis or electronic voice aids without having to pay for them.
Advocate and layngectomee, Tony Charlesworth says: 'Having access to HMEs will allow me to have a lot more freedom to do the things I want to do.
I’ll be able to breathe more easily and quietly, meaning my wife and I can go to places like the cinema and quiet restaurants where we haven’t been able to go for a number of years.'
