What the PBS pays

$439M in government benefit over 2024–25, across 1,960,892 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
insulin aspart $142.1M
insulin degludec with insulin aspart $142.1M
insulin glargine $73.4M
insulin degludec $72.8M
insulin lispro $7.3M
insulin glulisine $1.7M

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 4 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.
