THE Minister for Health and Ageing has advised that the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) approval of Woodberry Community Chemist with Sokeo Seng as its sole director, has been revoked, effective 26 Sep 2025.
An inquiry found serious and repeated breaches of the National Health Act 1953, including false PBS claims, misuse of Commonwealth funds, and failure to attend a duly convened hearing.
The revocation safeguards the integrity of the PBS in terms of public trust and Commonwealth expenditure, and ensures that approvals are held only by pharmacists who comply with legislative requirements.
The Department of Health, Disability and Ageing reminded pharmacists of the need to strictly adhere to PBS requirements.
