We're listing medicines and we're making them cheaper for all Australians. The government is committed to ensuring that Australians have access to affordable medicines by listing medicines recommended by the independent Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee, the PBAC, on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme. The government has delivered on our election promise to cut the cost of medications for millions and millions of Australians by reducing the PBS co-payment to a maximum of $30 per script.
