Better Together Medication Access

Better Together Medication Access will cover all out-of-pocket expenses for prescribed discharge and outpatient medication for all self-identifying Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people discharging from our hospitals and facilities.

Better Together Medication Access is another way that we are closing the gap in healthcare for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, helping you to live well and live longer.

If you are visiting one of our hospitals or facilities, you will be asked the question – “Are you of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Origin?”. If you identify, regardless of age, you will eligible for Better Together Medication Access.

By identifying you will also receive support from culturally appropriate services including our Indigenous Hospital Liaison Officers to assist your healthcare journey and recovery back to community.
