  2. Learning objectives • Understand the reasons for the development of the s100 Indigenous Scheme • Have an understanding of the purpose of the scheme

  3. Initiative of PBS S100 • Special arrangements for the supply of medicines to be provided to people in isolated areas • State pharmacies or private pharmacies are permitted to supply approved PBS medicines in bulk quantities to approved Indigenous Health Services in remote locations
