Update to the Core Medicines List

[from Caring@Home]

In 2024, caring@home convened a national Working Party of clinicians (including palliative medicine specialists, rural generalists, general practitioners, pharmacists and nurses) to develop version 1 of the National Core Community Palliative Care Medicines List.

The Working Party reconvened in 2026 to undertake a review and based on feedback the following changes were included:

  • Clinicians requested that two formulation options for Clonazepam be included (Clonazepam 2.5mg/mL drops AND/OR 1 mg/mL injection)
  • Minor wording edits to the supporting factsheet.

The next review is due in March 2028.
