Prescription Record Form Safety Net Report
The PBS Safety Net protects patients and their families requiring a large number of PBS or RPBS items. You may be eligible for an extra prescription subsidy if you and your family require a large number of PBS items in a calendar year. Under this government scheme you are responsible to keep track of the cost and number of items. There are a number of rules to the process.
