Helping Australians living with wounds

Research shows that people living with chronic wounds pay on average $340 a week in out-of-pocket costs. The Federal Government is investing $48 million through the CWCS to help eligible people living with diabetes and wounds with the cost of their wound care products. The scheme is set to launch in mid-2025 and essential training for health professionals keen to access its benefits on behalf of their patients has already begun.
