Do you know the benefits of biosimilar medicines? 

It’s Biosimilar Awareness Week and the perfect time to learn more about biosimilar medicines and how they can help create a more sustainable  Australian healthcare system.  

A biosimilar medicine is a highly similar version of an original brand of medicine. Introduction into the market provides competition and can trigger  price reductions to the PBS through a process called Price Disclosure. 

This means the Government can re-invest savings into other new treatments and health care services – like childcare, eldercare, mental health services, research and more.
