Subsidies for Implants at Public Healthcare Institutions

The Implant Subsidy List includes subsidised implants and accessories used in Public Healthcare Institutions. Eligible patients receive subsidies based on their means-test status.

Last updated 31 July 2026

What is the Implant Subsidy List (ISL)?

The ISL aims to extend subsidies to and encourage the use of clinically effective and cost-effective implants to improve patient outcomes and healthcare resource utilisation.

The ISL comprises implants1 assessed to be safe, clinically and cost-effective. Patients will be eligible for means-tested subsidies when these implants are used in Public Healthcare Institutions (PHIs) in accordance with the clinical criteria for subsidy eligibility as stipulated in the ISL.

1 Implants are a subset of medical technologies that are placed inside or on the surface of the human body. The ISL has referenced the definition of implants from the Health Products Act, Health Products (Medical Devices) Regulation 2010.

(2) Implants that have been assessed to be not clinically- and cost-effective

Patients may use implants that are not listed on the ISL, though this is generally not encouraged. The use of implants that are not clinically- and cost-effective will not be accorded subsidies and patients can expect to pay more. Patients may approach their public healthcare provider to explore subsidised options listed on the ISL.

What are the benefits?

Eligible patients will receive subsidies based on the subsidy framework of the setting where the procedure was performed:

Who is eligible?

Any subsidised patient in a Public Healthcare Institution who meets the clinical criteria indicated for implants listed on the ISL will receive subsidies based on the prevailing subsidy framework of the setting where the implant procedure was conducted.

How do I apply?

No application is required. Subsidies are automatically accorded based on your means-test status for each episode.
