What this determination does
This is a technical update to the rules that set the prices and conditions the Commonwealth pays pharmacies and suppliers for providing medicines under the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS). It amends an existing 2019 determination, PB 114 of 2019, made under the National Health Act 1953.
The source text provided does not specify what the actual changes are, which medicines or prices are affected, or why the amendment was made.
Administration and timing
The determination is administered by the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing. It was in force from 31 July 2026 to 12 October 2026, after which it has been repealed.
This is not something most small businesses outside pharmacy or pharmaceutical supply would need to act on.
Key actions
- If a business runs a pharmacy or supplies pharmaceutical benefits under the PBS, the full legislation text can be checked at https://www.legislation.gov.au/F2026L01011 to see exactly which prices or conditions changed.
- Confirmation with a software provider or PBS billing system on whether any price updates need to be applied is relevant given this determination has already been repealed as of 12 October 2026.
- If there is uncertainty about how this affects PBS supply agreements, the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing can be contacted for clarification.
