Lowering the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) safety net: From 1 July 2022, the Government proposes the PBS safety net to come into effect earlier, with 12 fewer scripts being required for concessional patients and 2 fewer scripts for general patients each calendar year before the safety net activates. Once within the safety net, concessional patients do not pay for PBS medicines whilst general patients only pay the concessional co-payment rate (currently $6.80 per script)
Extract from latest Federal Budget, not mentioned anywhere I have seen, maybe I am blinkered.

That's good to know as it usually kicks in for us at some stage during the year. Cheers.
