21 June 2016 - From 1 July 2016 blood glucose test strips will no longer be available on the PBS.

They can still be accessed through the National Diabetes Services Scheme (NDSS). People registered with the NDSS may continue purchasing blood glucose test strips as a subsidised product through the scheme.

A series of frequently asked questions regarding access to blood glucose test strips and other changes to the NDSS is available on the Department of Health website.
