Consultation on the content of the draft Cost Recovery Implementation Statement (CRIS) for listing medicines on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme and designated vaccines on the National Immunisation Program is now open.

This CRIS sets out the fees that will apply for the 2021-22 financial year and provides information on how the Department of Health (the Department) implements cost recovery for:
