Cheaper medicines
We’ve made medicine cheaper. On 1 January 2023, we reduced the maximum amount you’ll pay for PBS medicines. Find out more and check if your medicine is on the PBS.
And we cut medicine costs further with 60-day prescriptions. Since 1 September 2023, Australians with eligible prescriptions are able to collect twice the medication for the cost of a single prescription. Find out if your prescription is eligible.

We’re opening 58 Medicare Urgent Care Clinics around the country, so more Australians can better access the urgent care they need. These new bulk-billed clinics will be open 7 days a week with extended hours, and all you’ll need is your Medicare card. Find a Medicare Urgent Care Clinic near you.
We’re making the biggest-ever investment in bulk billing. It will help more than 11 million Australians see the doctor for free. Find out more about bulk-billed GP appointments.
Back to topMental health
Living in a rural or regional area shouldn't mean going without mental health support. That’s why we’ve restored funding for video mental health consultations in rural and regional areas. We’ve brought back access to this vital support for even our smallest towns.
Back to topWomen’s health
We’re delivering Australia’s first Endometriosis and Pelvic Pain Clinics across all states and territories. The 22 clinics will provide expert, multidisciplinary services and care for women with endometriosis and pelvic pain. And we’re working to understand women’s experiences of the healthcare system, through a national community consultation.
