You should be able to get the medicine you need, without worrying about the cost.
That’s why Labor reduced the maximum amount you’ll pay to $31.60 and made sure that concession card holders pay no more than $7.70. And many Australians can now get twice the medication for the cost of a single prescription.
We also added many new medicines to the PBS for conditions like breast, prostate and lung cancer, so you pay less at the pharmacy. Without subsidy, a course of treatment could cost more than $100,000 – now it will cost no more than $31.60 per script.
And from next January, a re-elected Albanese Government will make sure a PBS prescription costs no more than $25.
