The National Diabetes Services Scheme (NDSS) is an initiative of the Australian Government administered by Diabetes Australia.

Through the administration of the NDSS, Diabetes Australia provides practical assistance, information and subsidised products to over 1,000,000 Australians diagnosed with diabetes.

Register with the NDSS

To register with the NDSS, applicants must be diagnosed with diabetes and hold or be eligible to hold a Medicare card and live in Australia. Sometimes visitors to Australia may be eligible through a Reciprocal Health Care Agreement with their home country.

People who are registered with the NDSS can access a range of subsidised Government approved products including:

  • subsidised testing strips for checking blood glucose levels
  • free insulin syringes and pen-needles (if you require insulin or non-insulin injectable blood glucose lowering medications)
  • subsidised insulin pump consumables (IPCs)
  • information services on managing life with diabetes.

Registration is free.

Eligible persons can only be registered by their doctor or a Credentialed Diabetes Educator (CDE). For more information visit the NDSS website.
