Highlights from this day
- pharmac_pen — pharmac in new zealand, has anything moved on funding 17:52
- first_month_fi — a parcel of mine sat in a queensland depot for 8 days in summer, and it tested fine afterwards, which surprised me, someone check my working 18:07
- first_month_fi — tga shortage notices were live for long stretches while i was following it. whether they are now i genuinely do not know, not advice obviously 18:12
- first_month_fi — the seasonal thing works both ways. a july parcel into australia is an easy parcel 19:09
- cold_pack_carla — shipping into an australian summer, what do people actually do about it 21:09
pharmac had not funded it for weight when i last read about it and the nz members in here were all paying privately
pharmac hasnt funded it
quick one is there any reimbursement in nz at all or is it fully private
wouldnt risk reconstituted
that was a year ago
the wait to see somebody was quoted to me as a few weeks privately and much longer publicly, when i asked in 2024
several members lost their compounded supply with roughly two months notice. that is the reported experience, not a rule i can quote at you

supply steadied here
temperature controlled shipping into australia exists and the quote i got was more than the peptide
*Medutest not the other one
did the compounding rule change actually stop everything or just the big places
[edited]a member in perth and a member in melbourne reported completely different transit times on the same supplier in the same month
nz members have consistently reported worse availability and higher prices than australia. that is anecdote, but it is repeated anecdote

did the compounders give any notice before they stopped

the honest summary for australia is that the rules changed under people mid treatment and the room is still sore about it
how bad is the heat problem in january really
an australian summer transit is the worst cold chain problem discussed in this channel and it is not close
the seasonal thing works both ways. a july parcel into australia is an easy parcel

medsafe not tga
july is easy

nz supply has tracked australian supply closely in everything members have reported. the two markets are not independent
*Janoshik not the other one
