What the PBS pays

$26M in government benefit over 2024–25, across 51,236 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.

MedicineGovernment benefit
whey protein formula with medium chain triglycerides, carbohydrate, vitamins and minerals $23.5M
triglycerides medium chain formula $1.9M
triglycerides, long chain; triglycerides, medium chain $0.1M
triglycerides, medium chain $0.1M

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: 0 of 8 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.
