PBS Schedule PDFs to become easier to access and use

01 Sep 2026

Previously, the PBS Schedules were published in two large PDF volumes. Under the new format, they will be separated into individual publications, including the General Schedule, Highly Specialised Drugs (HSD) Schedule and Efficient Funding of Chemotherapy (EFC) Schedule.

Each publication will include its own program-specific Summary of Changes, along with other relevant information.

The change is designed to make the PBS information easier to access and use as the amount of available content continues to grow.

The smaller publications will also make it easier for users to search, download and view the schedules on mobile devices, while giving users more choice in how they access the information.

For questions about the PBS PDF Schedules, contact the PBS Publishing Team.
