Changes to PBS Additional Community Supply Support payments for pharmacies

Published: 19 May 2025

From 1 July 2025, Additional Community Supply Support (ACSS) fees will be assessed using PBS Online Claiming with payments made in your weekly PBS payments.

Real time ACSS assessment will apply for claims supplied on, or after 1 July 2025.

ACSS fees for claims supplied before 1 July 2025 will be paid manually in July and October 2025. Manual payments will then cease.

Certify and close claims by 30 June 2025 so they can be included in the final manual payment.

Make sure you continue to certify within 30 days of the last PBS supply in a claim period.
