NDSS Access Points in WA

How to Become an Access Point

Each week we receive enquiries from pharmacies and registrants regarding the process for selecting a NDSS Access Point.

The guidelines for selection have been set by the Australian Government and set out in the NDSS agreement, which is administered by Diabetes Australia Ltd. Each state has an appointed agent responsible for administering the NDSS, and in WA, it is Diabetes WA.

The current NDSS agreement between Diabetes Australia Ltd. and the Australian Government was signed in November 2006 and states that any approved pharmacy is eligible to become an NDSS Access Point, provided they can demonstrate: 

• A current pharmacy licence, location approval and approved PBS supplier status
• A high level of interest and commitment to providing speciality services to people with diabetes
