Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This instrument is a short administrative cancellation (revocation) of an earlier pharmaceutical pricing rule.

In 2009, the government created a legal determination (called PB 117 of 2009) that set out how medicine prices are calculated under the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS — the program that subsidises prescription medications). This 2012 instrument simply wipes that 2009 rule off the books, meaning it no longer has any legal effect.

Who it affects: Pharmaceutical companies, pharmacies, and government officials who manage PBS medicine pricing.

Why it matters: It performs a housekeeping function, removing outdated pricing rules that were likely replaced by newer arrangements or became unnecessary. It does not create new rules — it only removes an old one.
