Australia’s pharmacy profession is seeking a greater understanding of several major policy changes announced in the Federal Budget which will have a significant impact on community pharmacies and pharmacists.
Responding to the Federal Budget, the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia (PSA) is highlighting the importance of consultation with the pharmacy profession on the proposed changes and their implementation, which will be the most effective way to ensure no patient and no pharmacist will be worse off.
PSA National President, Dr Fei Sim said: “As expected, the Federal Budget confirmed that it would proceed with a proposal to extend the time-frame to dispense over 300 medicines in pharmacies from 30 days’ supply to 60 days’ supply.
