Cheaper medicine for over 500,000 patients
30 September 2019 - The Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Minister Hunt have announced new PBS listings for life-saving and life-changing medicines, benefiting more than 500,000 Australians.
Medicines to treat lung cancer, lymphoblastic and acute leukaemia, and nausea associated with chemotherapy will now be available to patients on the PBS from tomorrow for just $40.30 per script, or $6.50 with a concession card.
A further $390 million in mandated price reductions across 175 medicine brands will also flow through to patients from tomorrow, making medicines more affordable.
