Commonwealth DRFA disaster funding is in force, but no State or Territory declaration record was found.

An Australian Government disaster funding activation (DRFA/AGRN) is in force for one or more LGAs matched to this postcode, but in this jurisdiction funding activation and state disaster declaration are separate instruments, and no published state declaration record was found. Under MBS Note AN.1.1 the telehealth exemption rests on a State or Territory natural disaster declaration covering the local government area where the patient is located at the time of service; confirm and document this against the official source linked in each record.

Disclaimer

EmergencyAPI reports the declaration and funding activation status of Australian local government areas as published by government sources. It does not provide medical, billing, or legal advice. The decision to apply any MBS exemption rests with the treating practitioner, who must document the exemption and the clinical reasoning in the patient's clinical notes at the time of service (MBS Note AN.1.1).
