the Australia thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down
the Australia thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down. It is the sort of thing everyone half-believes and nobody writes down.
Checked the shortage database myself instead of reading the coverage. Expected resolution date was right there and the panic thread was wrong.
Rang three pharmacies for a private price and got three different numbers, all in the same city.
Assumed the New Zealand position applied here. It does not, and someone corrected me politely with the actual source.
I will update this if the picture changes rather than quietly leaving it up.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Registration by the therapeutic goods regulator establishes that a product may be supplied. Subsidy listing is a separate decision about public funding, with its own criteria and its own timetable.
Correction: that is the registration decision, not the subsidy listing. They are made by different bodies.
a streamlined authority code is not the same as a general listing
Small fix — that is the New Zealand arrangement, and the question is about Australia.
Read the published criteria for my indication rather than asking. Twenty minutes, and it answered everything I had been guessing at.
Agreed. Registration and subsidy are separate decisions and half the confusion here is treating them as one.
do not import US advice into an Australian thread
Subsidy criteria and authority requirements are published. For eligibility questions those documents are authoritative and this board is not.
Australia and New Zealand have different regulators, different funding bodies and different arrangements. An answer for one is not evidence about the other.
Yes — the shortage database is the source. The news coverage of it is downstream and usually a week behind.
Right, and the compounded supply position moved. Threads from two years ago are describing a different situation.
This. New Zealand has its own regulator and its own funding decisions and the answers genuinely differ.
Push back: the compounded arrangements changed and the advice you are quoting predates the change.
Have you checked the shortage database directly?
That figure is a private price at one pharmacy, not a national one.
The compounded arrangements changed while I was mid-thread and I was arguing from a superseded position.
PBS criteria are published and searchable
PBS listing and TGA registration are two different questions
PBS listing and TGA registration are two different questions
yara_antonsen is right that the two countries are separate systems and the answers diverge.
the TGA shortage database is public and it is the source, not the news
