You become eligible for the subsidy once you have paid for 20 new prescription medicine items from 1 February each year. Once you're eligible, you do not have to pay any more prescription charges for the rest of that year (to 31 January).
You can reach the 20-item threshold by combining prescription items for your partner and dependent children aged from 14 up to 18. Click here for more info. CAN I GET A COVID-19 VACCINE IN YOUR PHARMACY?

buccaline and why is it a pharmacist only medication?
Buccaline is used to boost the body's immune system against bacterial infection during the cold & flu season. While it will not prevent cold or flu, it reduces the risk of complications that often arise when bacterial infections worsen viral infections. Do not buy Buccaline if you are unwell. Buccaline is not a replacement for a flu vaccine.
