The NEMBC is proud to collaborate with the Australian Government on the Cheaper Medicines campaign, run by the Department of Health and Aged Care.
There are now more Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) medicines available for 60-day prescriptions, allowing many Australians to receive twice the amount of medication on a single prescription.
Almost 300 of approximately 950 medicines listed on the PBS are now available for 60-day prescriptions.
It is estimated that the 60-day prescription option will save Australians more than $1.6 billion over the next four years.
To help spread this vital message, we have produced seven multilingual audio grabs in Arabic, Cantonese, Greek, Mandarin, Punjabi, Spanish, and Vietnamese, featuring NEMBC talents from across the country.
We invite you to share these audio resources with your community!
