This Determination updates subsidised PBS prices for hundreds of specific medicine brands under Australia’s price disclosure system, aligning listed government prices with actual market prices reported for the data collection period ending 31 May 2013, effective 1 December 2013. It groups brands by whether disclosed prices fell by 10% or more or by less than 10%, and records each brand’s weighted average disclosed price (and adjusted ex‑manufacturer price where relevant). The new prices set what the government pays pharmacies for these medicines.
