About this consultation
Interruptions to the supply and availability of medicines in Australia can occur for various reasons and have a range of impacts on patients and health professionals.
We are consulting to better understand the nature, extent and urgency of problems with the supply of medicines, including shortages and discontinuations of medicines in Australia.
We also want to hear about possible opportunities to address these challenges, in continued collaboration with the broad range of stakeholders responsible for medicine supply in Australia.
