* Vision Australia has an online application and assessment process designed to streamline applications and product delivery for optometrists, and reduce waiting times for the delivery of glasses.
* The web page www.visionaustralia.org/spectacles is a key resource for providers and potential recipients to find out about the NSW Spectacles Program.
How to apply
* Before applying for the Program, you must have recently had an eye examination and have a prescription that is not older than 3 months. Most providers participating in the Program are optometrists who can conduct your eye examination.
* The application is completed by your optometrist or optical dispenser. You need to bring a Centrelink Income Statement (if you receive a Centrelink benefit) or recent payslip and bank statement (if you are a low income earner). You will receive an instant assessment of your eligibility based on information you provide. If Vision Australia confirms that you are eligible, your optometrist or optical dispenser will order your spectacles and let you know when they are ready to collect.
