FAQ's

  • What is the NDSS and how does it work?

    The National Diabetes Supply Scheme (NDSS) is an initiative that provides subsidised diabetes-related products to eligible Australians. Once registered with the NDSS, individuals can access a range of supplies, including blood glucose monitoring strips, insulin syringes and pen needles, at reduced costs. 


    The NDSS also offers educational resources to help those with diabetes manage their condition effectively. To register, individuals must have a confirmed diagnosis of diabetes and be referred by a healthcare provider.

  • Who is eligible for the NDSS, and how can I register?

    Eligibility for the NDSS is available to Australians who have been diagnosed with diabetes by a healthcare professional. To register, you must complete an NDSS registration form, which can be obtained from your doctor or downloaded online. 


    Once filled out, it needs to be signed by a healthcare provider and submitted to an NDSS access point, typically a pharmacy. Registration allows access to subsidised products and support services aimed at helping manage diabetes effectively.

  • What supplies can I access through the NDSS?

    The NDSS provides access to a wide range of diabetes-related supplies. This includes:


    • blood glucose monitoring strips
