The scheme supports people who live in regional or remote areas. People may be eligible if they live at least 75 km from the nearest approved specialist or they travel more than 250 km in one week for cancer or kidney treatment. A doctor must confirm the treatment and need for travel as part of the application. People must meet certain criteria to access this scheme.
