To be eligible you must be a resident of NSW or Lord Howe Island, enrolled with Medicare, travelling at least 100kms one way or 200kms within a week to your nearest approved health service. You also must not be eligible for any financial assistance for travel and accommodation from third party insurance or other Australian government services.
