The Federal Government has taken historic action to ease cost-of-living pressures by reducing out-of-pocket costs for prescription medicines to $25 (maximum price). This crucial step will help the 1 in 5 Australians who currently struggle to afford their essential medicines and face impossible choices between their health and other necessities like food, rent, electricity, gas and other utilities.

By lowering the cost of medicines at the pharmacy counter, this reform ensures that no Australian needs to sacrifice their well-being due to financial constraints, addressing one of the most pressing household budget concerns without contributing to inflationary pressure.

Dear Prime Minister Albanese and Minister Butler,

Thank you for reducing the cost of prescription medicines to $25. This will make a real difference to families like mine who struggle with the cost of essential medicines.

For too many Australians, prescription medicines have become a luxury they cannot afford, forcing tough choices between health and other necessities.

By taking action, you've shown that you understand the real cost-of-living pressures facing Australians and are committed to practical solutions that provide immediate relief.

This reform means my family can now afford the medicines we need without sacrificing other essentials. It's a meaningful step toward ensuring no Australian has to choose between their health and putting food on the table.

Thank you for listening to the community and taking decisive action to make medicines more affordable.

Yours sincerely,
