What is life support?

You are classified as being life support dependent if you depend on any of the following equipment:

• Oxygen concentrator
  
• Intermittent peritoneal dialysis machine
• Kidney dialysis machine
• Chronic positive airways pressure respirator
• Crigler najjar syndrome phototherapy equipment
• Ventilator for life support
• Any other equipment (whether fuelled by electricity or gas) that a registered medical practitioner certifies is required for life support, or a medical condition which requires continued supply of gas
