PBS - Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme
Australia's National Medicines Policy is a cooperative endeavour to bring about better health outcomes for all Australians, focusing especially on people's access to, and wise use of, medicines. The term "medicine" includes prescription and non-prescription medicines, including complementary healthcare products.
The National Medicines Policy (NMP) is a well established endorsed framework based on partnerships which was launched in December 1999. Governments - Commonwealth, States and Territories, health educators, health practitioners, and other healthcare providers and suppliers, the medicines industry, healthcare consumers, and the media work together to promote the objectives of the policy.
The overall aim of the National Medicines Policy is to meet medication and related service needs, so that both optimal health outcomes and economic objectives are achieved.
