From 1 April 2019, the NDSS will include fully subsidised access to the products on the Medtronic Guardian (3) platform, including the Guardian Connect (3) transmitter, the Guardian Link (3) transmitter and the Guardian Sensor (3). This will provide greater choice for people participating in the CGM Initiative.
The NDSS Annual Customer Satisfaction and Awareness Survey 2019 is just around the corner. Our provider, ORIMA Research, will undertake this survey through telephone interviews. We will use the responses to understand the experiences of people registered with the NDSS.
On 25 November 2018, Minister Hunt announced that the Government would expand the CGM initiative through an investment of more than $100 million, effective from 1 March 2019, to also provide fully subsidised CGM products.
As previously announced by the Hon. Greg Hunt, MP, Minister for Health, funding of $100 million over four years has been allocated to expand free access to glucose-monitoring technology through the NDSS to help children, pregnant women, and more adults with type 1 diabetes manage their condition.
Parents and carers of 11,000 Australian children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes are likely to face more challenges than most as they begin the new school year.
These are the product changes for February 2019.
The NDSS offices will be closed from 25 December 2018 to 1 January 2019 for the Christmas period. During this time, should you need any support, please call the NDSS Helpline on 1300 136 588.
