Repairs Minor repairs can be arranged directly with your prosthetist. However, if the inspection of your prosthesis reveals that more extensive repairs are required, a Clinic appointment will be made for you. All major repairs require review and prescription by an Amputee Clinic. Only current issue prosthesis supplied by QALS will be repaired at QALS expense. Consumable Supplies QALS provides such consumable items as stump socks, cosmetic gloves etc, through your manufacturer.
Annual limits do apply.
Second Limbs QALS allows for the provision of one prosthesis which meets all or most of your daily needs. Special consideration may be given for geographically isolated patients, specific occupations, limited medical conditions or special needs. All such requests will be individually assessed on merit from information provided by yourself, your prescriber or your employer. Costs Clients of the Service are required to contribute towards the cost of their prosthesis and its repair. Clients holding health care cards, pensioner concession cards and certain Department of Veteran Affair entitlements are exempt.
