What the PBS pays
$93M in government benefit over 2024–25, across 46,737 services.
This is spend on the medicines considered for this condition, not spend on the disease. A medicine used for several conditions is counted in full under each, so figures across conditions add to more than national PBS expenditure.
| Medicine | Government benefit |
|---|---|
| lanreotide | $40.7M |
| lanreotide acetate | $40.7M |
| octreotide | $9.5M |
| pegvisomant | $2.3M |
Conditions are classified by a language model from the indication text of each submission, so an individual label here can be wrong. Consumer input is read from the document's own consumer comments section: 3 of 6 decisions since 2014 carried some. Silence means no comment reached the committee through that facility, not that nobody was affected. More on how this was built.
