how much is ozempic in australia

Ozempic in Australia costs $31.60 per prescription for those eligible for the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS), which typically covers people with type 2 diabetes. If a person is not eligible for PBS subsidies, the price rises to about $134.27 for a 1.5 mL pen. The medication is generally prescribed as a once-weekly injection, and Ozempic supply issues have caused some availability limitations through 2025, but these are improving. The government subsidizes Ozempic for diabetes but does not subsidize it for weight loss, which means the cost can be much higher if used off-label for weight loss without PBS coverage.
