Earlier this year, the Anthony Albanese Government lowered the maximum cost of PBS prescription medicines from $31.60 to $25, the lowest price since 2004.

The Guild worked alongside a coalition of more than 20 organisations to campaign for the new lower price. So far this year, Australian patients have saved over $20,000,000 on their medicines!
