Health professionals can help Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians get low-cost or free Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) medicines.
The Closing the Gap (CTG) PBS co-payment reduces the cost of PBS medicines. Eligible patients can get their medicine at the concession price. Or, if they have a concession or health care card, their medicine is free.
The co-payment reduces the cost of some PBS medicines. Eligible items include Section 85 and Section 100 (National Health Act 1953) PBS medicines.
Patients must be registered in our national database.
