Pay this fee to the COLOSTOMY ASSOCIATION OF VICTORIA before you place your first order each financial year. You will then be eligible to place orders with the CAV and have MEDICARE pay for the supplies. If you do not pay the fee the CAV will not process your order through the STOMA APPLIANCE SCHEME because MEDICARE will not cover the cost of your prescribed products. Your only other option would be to purchase the products from the CAV at retail prices.

The CAV will ensure that the SAS monthly and annual entitlement limits set for each product ordered have not been exceeded, then we will supply your entitled products, for collection from the CAV premises (no charge) or dispatched with AUSTRALIA POST (fees apply).

SUPPLIES DELIVERED TO YOU WITHIN 3 WORKING DAYS
CAV can arrange courier delivery to your home. Couriers are arranged by the suppliers, who invoice the cost of the services to the CAV, so courier fees are payable to the CAV in advance of supply. A CAV volunteer can determine the costs, arrange payment by credit card or by debiting your PREPAID PARCEL DELIVERY account, and then place the order. This service is not available to remote rural areas or to post office boxes. You must be home to accept delivery.
