MPA launches the PBS booklet

A new publication which explains the scheme for subsidising medicines for Australian patients has been launched by Medicines Partnership of Australia. 

An Introduction to the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme provides a simple explanation of how the PBS works in Australia. The paper includes the history of the PBS, what it does, the key participants in the manufacturing and supply process, and key issues for the Scheme going forward.

Requests for hard copies should be directed to Alexia Vlahos at alexia.vlahos@medicinesaustralia.com.au
