SERVICES Australia is urging pharmacies to place orders for Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme stationery now in order to have it in store by Christmas.
The agency has confirmed it does not process PBS stationery orders during the Christmas and New Year period between 23 Dec 2022 and 02 Jan 2023.
To ensure pharmacies have sufficient supplies for the holiday period they must ensure orders are placed by 30 Nov.
"We'll still process orders made after 30 Nov 2022, however you may not receive your stationery until Jan 2023," the Department said in a website update.
Pharmacies and hospitals must order PBS stationery via the Health Professional Online Services (HPOS) platform, requiring linking of PRODA accounts to HPOS prior to lodging stationery orders.
