Original: National Auslan Interpreter Booking and Payment Service

The National Auslan Interpreter Booking and Payment Service (NABS) currently provides a national service that books and pays for an accredited Auslan (Australian Sign Language) interpreter to attend medical consultations that attract a Medicare rebate, or specified health consultations provided in a private medical practice by a general practitioner, specialist or health professional. Eligible clients of this service are transitioning to the NDIS by 30 June 2020.

From 1 July 2020, funding will be available for an organisation to deliver NABS services to approximately 600 existing NABS clients who are ineligible for the NDIS in addition to new clients over the age of 65 who are not eligible for the NDIS.
