Affordable medicines matter.

With interest rates rising and cost-of-living pressures continuing to bite, Australians shouldn’t have to pay more for essential medicines.

Let’s keep medicines affordable. Keep the $25 PBS co-payment freeze.

❌Interest rates are now the highest in 18 years.
✅Medicines prices are the lowest in more than 20 years.
Let’s keep it that way – freeze medicines at $25.
Australians can’t afford any more price hikes on life essentials

Thanks to Premier Chris Minns & Ryan Park MP NSW patients have more options than ever before when accessing primary healthcare.

Community pharmacists are going back to university to become qualified to assess, diagnose and if necessary, treat a range of everyday and long-term health conditions.

The result is GP appointments freed up for more complex cases and less patients in ED waiting rooms - a good news story!

This week, your Guild was at Parliament House advocating for your patients.

If nothing happens, the Government will increase the PBS copay from $25 on 1 January 2027. We’re calling on the Government to continue helping patients by freezing $25 medicines.

From February 2027, the Australian Government will fund community pharmacist consultations nationally for women’s health services for the first time.

The Women’s Health Trial will give women more choice in how they access care, with participating community pharmacies providing consultations for uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) and contraception services.

A new chapter in women’s healthcare is coming. From February 2027, the Australian Government will fund community pharmacist consultations nationally for women’s health services for the first time.

The Women’s Health Trial will give women more choice in how they access care, with participating community pharmacies providing consultations for uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) and contraception services.

UTI consultation and treatment will be available nationally, while available contraception services will depend on the authorisations and requirements in each state and territory.

Swipe through to learn more about the trial and what it means for community pharmacy.
