$250 million investment in life changing cancer medicines
15 July 2018 - The Australian Government will invest $250 million to make four life-changing cancer medicines available to thousands of Australian patients from August 1.
The listing of these new medicines will save patients thousands of dollars, in some cases the saving for each patient will be over $130,000 per year.
The new listings on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme will now mean patients will pay a maximum of $39.50 per script or just $6.40 per script for concessional patients, including pensioners.
