Description
The Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) data collection contains information on prescription medicines that qualify for a benefit under the National Health Act 1953 and for which a claim has been processed. The database comprises information about PBS scripts and payments, patients, prescribers and dispensing pharmacies.
AIHW has access to the complete dataset held by the Australian Government Department of Health for approved studies, including data linkage projects (see AIHW Data Integration Services Centre).
The dataset is owned and managed by the Department of Health. The Department has issued a Public Interest Certificate approving AIHW access to PBS claims and under co-payment data for research and statistical purposes.
The AIHW holds valuable data on a wide range of health and welfare topics and provides end-to-end data services to ensure strong evidence is available to the community, policymakers, researchers and service providers. For more information, please see our services.
