  • What is CAAS, am I eligible, and how do I apply?
    What is CAAS?

    The Continence Aids Assistance Scheme (CAAS) is an Australian Government program that assists eligible people who have permanent and severe incontinence to meet some of the costs of continence products. 

    Am I eligible for CAAS?

    A. You have permanent and severe loss of bladder and/or bowel function (incontinence) due directly to a neurological condition (for example, cerebral palsy, spina bifida, paraplegia or multiple sclerosis) or a permanent and severe intellectual impairment. 

    OR
     
    B. You have permanent and severe loss of bladder and/or bowel function (incontinence) caused by a non-neurological condition, for example, autism, cancer, prostate disease or dementia; 
    AND
    You have a Pensioner Concession Card, or if you are under 16 years, your parent/guardian
