Claim Form
I/We authorise:
EnableNSW to use Centrelink Confirmation eServices to perform a Centrelink/DVA enquiry of my Centrelink or Department of Veterans’
Affairs Customer details and concession card status in order to enable the business to determine if I qualify for a concession, rebate
or service.
The Australian Government Department of Human Services (DHS) to provide the results of that enquiry to EnableNSW.
I understand that:
DHS will use information I have provided to EnableNSW to confirm my eligibility for EnableNSW programs and services and will disclose
to EnableNSW personal information including my name, address, payment and concession card type and status.
This consent, once signed, remains valid while I am a customer of EnableNSW unless I withdraw it by contacting EnableNSW or DHS.
I can obtain proof of my circumstances/details from DHS and provide it to EnableNSW so that my eligibility for EnableNSW programs
and services can be determined.
If I withdraw my consent or do not alternatively provide proof of my circumstances/details, I may not be eligible for programs and services
provided by EnableNSW.
Details about the Centrelink Confirmation eServices are available on Centrelink’s website.
If you do not wish to authorise EnableNSW to confirm the current status of your Commonwealth Benefit and other details as they pertain
to your concessional entitlement, please attach a photocopy of your pension card.
Note: A personal contribution of $30.00 will be deducted from this claim if you are not a Pension or Health Care Card holder.

Accommodation Provider
I have read and understood the terms of this bulk billing conditional
approval. I understand that it is the responsibility of the accomm-
odation provider to seek payment of the accommodation costs from
the claimant and therefore should assist the patient/claimant to
complete the bulk billing application form where possible.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
The patient must meet the eligibility criteria for IPTAAS.
It is the responsibility of the accommodation provider to organise payment directly with the patient for any additional costs incurred
outside of the IPTAAS guidelines
Before the patient leaves the accommodation facility, Parts 2 and 3 of the IPTAAS Claim form is required, along with an accommodation
invoice and any other claimable receipts.
Invoices must include the conditional approval number, along with both the patient & escort name. Failure to do this may lead to non-
payment of your invoice
Any additional fees (e.g. late check-out) are subject to approval by IPTAAS.
Note: A personal contribution of $30 will be deducted from the total benefits payable for each return journey or weekly subsidy if claiming
under the 200km per week cumulative distance criterion (not applicable to pensioners and Health Care Card holders). Contributions will
be capped at four co payments each financial year. In cases where a personal contribution cannot be deducted from the claimant's travel
entitlement the contribution is deducted from the accommodation entitlement and payment arrangements must be made between the
service provider and the patient. No benefit is payable when the patient is on leave during the course of their treatment.
