National Health (Listed Drugs on F1 or F2) Determination 2021
Summary
The Australian Department of Health, Disability and Ageing has issued the National Health (Listed Drugs on F1 or F2) Determination 2021 under the National Health Act 1953. This legislative instrument determines which drugs are listed on Formulary F1 and Formulary F2 for purposes of the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme. Schedule 1 lists drugs on F1 and Schedule 2 lists drugs on F2. The instrument has been amended since its original making and the latest version is in force.
What changed
The Determination establishes which drugs are listed on Formulary F1 and Formulary F2 under the National Health Act 1953. The instrument contains definitions, provisions for drugs on each formulary, and two schedules listing the specific drugs. This classification affects which medicines are available under the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme and at what subsidy level.
Pharmaceutical manufacturers seeking PBS listing for their products should monitor these schedules as they directly determine formulary placement. Healthcare providers and patients benefit from understanding which drugs fall under each formulary for cost and availability purposes.
What to do next
- Review current F1 and F2 drug listings for compliance
- Monitor for future amendments to the determination
