  • How do I find out if my medicines are eligible for the 60-day scripts?
    • So if you'd like to know what medications are on the list, go to health.gov.au/cheaper-medicines.
  • Who decides if I can get a 60-day script? 
    • These medications are there for those stable, chronic medical conditions and it's up to a discussion with you and your GP about which ones are included.
  • Why are some medicines excluded from the 60-day script when similar ones are not?
    • So not all medications are included on this list and those medications that are excluded, maybe because it's not a regular medication or it's just there for a short-term condition.
