Decision Making Process
How we make decisions
PHARMAC has an established process for deciding which medicines to fund. We consider funding applications from pharmaceutical suppliers, health professionals and consumer groups.
The interactive flow chart below outlines the steps in the decision-making process, with links to the relevant information on each step within this website.

Process for listing a new pharmaceutical
The process set out in the diagram below is intended to be indicative of the process that may follow where a supplier or other applicant wishes a new pharmaceutical to be listed on the Pharmaceutical Schedule. PHARMAC may, at its discretion, adopt a different process or variations of the process, for example decisions on consultation are made on a case-by-case basis.
