Overview

The National diabetes services scheme (NDSS) is an initiative of the Australian Government and administered by Diabetes Australia.

The NDSS delivers diabetes-related products at subsidised prices and provides information and support services to people with diabetes. Registration is free and open to all Australians diagnosed with diabetes.

There are over 2000 NDSS outlets (sub-agents) across Australia. NDSS supplies can be purchased from any one of these outlets. They provide a reliable supply of products, information and professional advice on diabetes and effective self-management. Sub-agents can be identified by the NDSS and Diabetes Australia logos and can be:

• community pharmacies or chemists
• health centres
• diabetes centres
• hospitals
• divisions of general practice
• appropriate allied health practices
• Aboriginal health service centres
