Subsidies for accommodation and travel
Some patients may be eligible for the Victorian Patient Transport Assistance Scheme. This program assists, retrospectively, with the cost of accommodation and travel for patients and careres who live outside metropolitan Melbourne. Please enquire at the Accommodation department for further information and assistance.
Interstate schemes are also available for patients travelling from interstate.
Bulk billed accommodation
There are a small number of accommodation providers that ‘bulk bill’ for people who are eligible for the Victorian Patient Transport Assistance Scheme (VPTAS), or for people who are eligible for interstate schemes.
If the bulk billing criteria are met, Peter Mac’s accommodation department will manage your reservations and paperwork. Patients and family members are not able to make reservations directly with accommodation providers who bulk bill.
Interstate schemes: Patients must check their eligibility for interstate subsidy schemes before any accommodation can be booked.
