Price Increase
Each year the Commonwealth increases the prices of NDSS products inline with the applicable rate applied to the Pharmeceuticals Benefits Scheme. For information on prices please see the NDSS order forms.
State and territory Governments have agreed to cover the co-payment for insulin needles or syringes purchased by NDSS Registrants in their jurisdiction. This effectively means the needles and syringes are “free” to eligible Registrants in all states and territories.
