Cyclone Ita Pharmacy Assistance

The Department of Health has launched temporary arrangements to help residents and pharmacists in far north Queensland, who might be affected by the tropical cyclone Ita. The arrangements, launched on 11 Apr, were in effect until at least 11 May, the Department said.

Pharmacists supplying Pharmaceutical Benefit Schemes (PBS) medicines to patients in affected areas can visit a website offering advice on various topics, including patient entitlement, dispensing medicines under the three day emergency supply rule without a  prescription and emergency relocation of a pharmacy, as well as contact numbers.
