Guiding You Through the Funding Process for Your Purchases

It's crucial to understand which items you can acquire with your funding. Familiarise yourself with the range of continence products covered under your CAPS funding. The CAPS program provide detailed information on it website, or your continence care team can offer personalised guidance.

CAPS funding for approved participants is directly deposited into the participant's bank account, enabling you to shop the Topcat website by choosing your products, adding them to your cart, and seamlessly checking out using your personal banking information. However, understanding which continence products are encompassed by your CAPS funding is essential.

How Do I Apply for CAPS?
