Service Changes

In November 2019, the Department of Human Services (DHS) committed to Domiciliary Equipment Service (DES) transitioning service delivery to the non-government sector by December 2020.

DES has already transitioned a number of services earlier this year and will now transition from providing repairs and Readily Available Loan Equipment Services. This is expected to be completed by December 2020.

Organisations with current arrangements with DES are being contacted about the service transition, with a view to minimising any impact on clients.

DES services changes and options for clients are currently available on this website and this information will be updated as we progress with transition arrangements.
