The Pharmaceutical Benefit Scheme (PBS) co-payment measure assists Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with the cost of medications.

Once registered, patients with a concession card receive PBS medications free of charge. For those without a concession card, PBS medications are available for a reduced cost of $6.10.

• be diagnosed with a chronic condition or be at risk of developing a chronic condition,
• be unlikely to adhere to a medicine regime without assistance from this measure, and
• identify as an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander.

Please note there is no age limit for this benefit.
