Petitions, started by people affected by multiple sclerosis, are calling on the Australian Government to keep essential disease-modifying therapies listed on the PBS so treatment stays affordable for everyone who needs it.
Disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) are the medications that slow the progression of multiple sclerosis and keep people out of the hospital, at work, and living independently. Without PBS listing, these treatments can cost tens of thousands of dollars a year, out of reach for most Australian families.
