The Hon Mark Butler MP, Minister for Health and Aged Care, has announced the updated National Medicines Policy (NMP). The refreshed NMP is available on the Department of Health and Aged Care’s website.
RVA is currently reviewing the refreshed NMP in detail and what it may mean for Australians living with a rare disease.
As the national peak body for Australians living with a rare disease, RVA has been actively involved in the NMP Review.
RVA has contributed to the NMP Review to date in several ways, including:
- Lodging a Submission to the initial consultation in October 2021
- Participating in a one-on-one interview as the national peak body with the NMP Review’s Expert Advisory Committee
- Submitting a response to the draft NMP in March 2022
- Lodging a Submission to the draft NMP in September 2022
