Abstract

Australia’s 7th Community Pharmacy Agreement, which comes into force today and lasts five years, will see the government provide A$16 billion for dispensing subsidised medicines and A$1.15 billion for other services such as diabetes support.

The agreement was struck between the federal government, industry peak body the Pharmacists’ Guild and, for the first time, the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia, which represents Australia’s 31,000 registered pharmacists.
