As of 2008, the administrative processes for the Spectacle Supply Scheme (SSS) will be centrally managed by MASS according to the eligibility criteria in the MASS Spectacle Supply Scheme Guidelines.
SSS provides a comprehensive range of basic prescription spectacles to eligible Queensland residents. All eligible applications to SSS will be assessed through an equitable process based on clinical need.
The Guidelines have been developed to provide quality, consistency and standardisation in the administration of SSS. In managing and administering SSS, MASS aims to provide a consistent centralised service with improved service delivery to clients and increased participation of prescribers.
Applicants must have a clinical need for spectacles based on changes to their eyesight as determined by an Optometrist/Opthalmologist.
The new Spectacle Supply Scheme (SSS) Standing Offer Arrangement (SOA), in place from 1 April 2008 introduces an enhanced range for clients including metal frames as a standard available option.
Refer to the new SOA Frame Catalogue, Spectacles webpage or client brochure for additional information.
