I'm sure the same benefits apply in NSW as Victoria. Another OCF member WendyG from NSW was also supplied with nutrition and equipment for her husband's PEG feeding tube at no cost delivered to her door.
Definitely worth asking about because I wasn't receiving a pension and it was still organised by the nutritionist/ dietician. All my medications, lotions and potions that were needed following my surgeries and when I was receiving radiotherapy and chemotherapy were also supplied at no cost.
