Getting your patients started on a Dexcom G6 or Dexcom G7 CGM System is easy with the National Diabetes Services Scheme (NDSS) CGM Subsidy Initiative. The CGM Subsidy Initiative can be broken down into two streams;
Full subsidy
People who have Type 1 Diabetes and also meet additional criteria are eligible, such as those under 21 years old, during pregnancy, or concessional status.* No co-payment required - access Dexcom for free.
Partial subsidy
Everyone with Type 1 Diabetes is eligible. Co-payment of approximately $34.80 made at the pharmacy.
For those that do not have Type 1 diabetes and are not eligible for NDSS funding, they can purchase directly on our online shop here.
NDSS Health Professional Portal
The NDSS Health Professional Portal, is designed to simplify the NDSS registration process for both health professionals and their patients. The portal offers a streamlined, near real-time registration process, providing patients with their NDSS registration number promptly.
By utilising the NDSS Health Professional Portal, authorised healthcare providers can facilitate the same-day purchase of subsidised diabetes products, including the Dexcom CGM, for eligible patients.
This access is available through designated NDSS Access Points, typically community pharmacies.
