New: Government price freeze on PBS subsidised maximum co-pay prescriptions – Read More


On January 1st, 2025, the Australian Government placed a price freeze on PBS subsidised maximum co-pay prescriptions. This is an important and welcomed measure to help with increased cost-of-living pressures.

Concessional/repat copay prescriptions will be frozen at a maximum of $7.70, whilst general copay prescription will remain at $31.60. A pharmacy is allowed to discount this price further – up to 80c for concessional/repat prescriptions and 10c for general prescription.   

For co-pay prescriptions in 2025, National Pharmacies members will pay $6.90 for concessional/repat prescriptions and $31.50 for general prescriptions.

Please note above prices are not inclusive of brand price premiums

Not all prescriptions are subsidised by the government. If you’re a general patient with an under co-payment prescription you’ll get exceptional pricing at National Pharmacies.
