Medicines
The Repatriation Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (RPBS) provides access to a larger range of medicines and wound care items than are on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme Schedule. For quick pharmacy advice relating to the RPBS or to get a prescription approved, you can ring our 24-hour advice line on 1800 552 580.
The Dose Administration Aid (DAA) service provides our clients with a medicine organiser pack (e.g. Webster pack) to support them in taking the right dose of medicine at the right time.
Information on medicinal cannabis funding
A treating doctor is able to make a submission to DVA to fund medicinal cannabis on a veteran’s behalf.
