Submissions to Medical Services Advisory Committee advocating for access to two funded HRD in Australia have been recommended.
Ovarian Cancer Australia (OCA) is thrilled by today’s announcement from the Honourable Ged Kearney, Assistant Minister for Health and Aged Care, of an additional $386,000 in funding for the next phase of the TRACKFORWARD project, a collaboration between OCA and the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre.
Ovarian Cancer Australia has been advocating over the past 2 years for access to funded HRD testing and PARP inhibitor access for this group in Australia. Our community have been awaiting the outcomes of two concurrent submissions under consideration by the Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee (PBAC) and Medical Services Advisory Committee (MSAC) – the committees who decide what medicines and tests should be subsidised (when a medicine or test is funded/subsidised, it means some or all of the cost is covered by the Australian Government to make access more affordable and equitable.)
