Free Syringes

State and territory Governments have agreed to cover the co-payment for insulin needles or syringes purchased by NDSS Registrants in their jurisdiction. This effectively means the needles and syringes are "free" to eligible Registrants in all states and territories.

New Products

Keep checking this website for product updates including details of any changes to the products available under the NDSS

Delivery of Product

All products sent by mail are free of any postage charges. Five working days should be allowed for delivery (10-14 days in remote areas).

No Exchanges

Diabetes Australia is not permitted to exchange NDSS products incorrectly ordered by Registrants. In addition, some products have a use-by date, so to avoid unnecessary wastage, you should not over-order these items.

Price Increase

Each year, on the 1st of January, in accordance with the NDSS Head Agreement 2011-2016, the Registrant contribution for supplies under the NDSS increases. This increase is in line with the Government's policy on medicines subsidised under the PBS, which are indexed annually to account for changes in the costs of goods.

Details of price increases will be posted on this website.

Additional Subsidies

Registrants who have one of the following cards are eligible for additional subsidies:

• Health Care Card
• Pensioner Concession Card
• Safety Net Card
• Veterans' Affairs Card.

The NDSS Order Form specifies the price payable for each product based on the additional subsidy available.
