Closing the Gap and 60-day prescriptions

The Closing the Gap PBS co-payment (CTG) program reduces or removes the PBS co-payment for eligible Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. This applies to all PBS medicines, including medicines approved for 60-day prescriptions.

If you currently pay a reduced price or get free PBS medicines under the CTG program, this will continue, even with a 60-day prescription.

CTG prescriptions can be dispensed at community pharmacies, approved medical practitioners, and private or public hospitals.
