Australia’s health system is world class, supporting universal and affordable access to high quality medical, pharmaceutical and hospital services, while helping people to stay healthy through health promotion and disease prevention activities. The Department of Health has a diverse set of responsibilities, but throughout there is a common purpose, which is reflected in our Vision statement: Better health and wellbeing for all Australians. The Department uses social media to share links and information about health policies and programs.

We deliver on our vision through our people. One of our strengths is our proud culture of teams working together to get things done swiftly, collegiality and professionally. ‘Our way’ means: • Leaders being clear on their expectations on ‘how’ we do business • Allowing people to deliver high quality work in tight timeframes by sharing information and expectations upfront • Supporting each other to learn and use new skills to build our capability • Identifying and managing risks strategically while also being innovative • Expecting high quality professional performance from each other • Looking outside the Department’s own viewpoint to work with the community and listen to their views.

Almost 300 PBS medicines are now available for a 60-day prescription. 💊 If you’re a prescriber with patients who live with a stable, ongoing health condition, check the updated list of medicines now available for a 60-day prescription. The list of ongoing health conditions has been updated and now almost 300 PBS medications are available for a 60-day prescription. Patients need to consult their prescriber about whether it’s suitable for them to receive a prescription for the 60-day quantity for their medicine/s. Doctors have clinical discretion over what quantity of medicine is prescribed for their patients, based on their assessment of whether a patient’s condition is stable and suitable at that time. The maximum number of repeats for 60-day prescriptions is the same as for the 30-day. This excludes anti-depressants. For prescriptions allowing 5 repeats it can provide up to 12 months’ supply of medicine. If you’re a prescriber, check our website for guidance on the updated list and ongoing health conditions.
