Diabetes

The National Diabetes Services Scheme (NDSS) aims to enhance the capacity of people with diabetes to understand and self-manage their condition. Diabetes Australia also seeks to support people with diabetes by providing timely, reliable and affordable access to NDSS services.

Registration with NDSS is free and open to all Australians who are diagnosed with diabetes.

Registration with NDSS provides access to subsidised diabetes management products at the pharmacy including blood glucose test strips and insulin needles.

You are able to register if you:

Live in Australia or are visiting from a country where Australia has reciprocal health care agreements on an applicable visa.
Have been diagnosed with diabetes by a doctor, endocrinologist or credentialled diabetes educator and;
Hold (or are eligible to hold) a Medicare or Department of Veterans' Affairs card.
