PBS Listing for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People
The Australian Government is committed to improving the capability of the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) to better meet the needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. The Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee is assisting this goal by evaluating and recommending the listing of medications specifically to help with the health needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
This list details all PBS items that are limited for prescription to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. For more information about PBS access by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, see Improving the capacity of the PBS to meet particular Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health needs.
