Sign this petition for equitable access for all

  • January 30, 2019

One of the main aims of the Unicorn Foundation is to advocate for equitable access for our NET Cancer patients across Australia. Whether you live in the city or in the country, whether you live in QLD or NSW you should not be disadvantaged or pay more than someone else. Thanks to Jeffrey, one of our patients, a petition to the government is currently live and we are asking for all your help as this affects all Australians. Co-payments through Medicare are approved Federally for some NET cancer drugs, however, whether this is enforced is a state issue. NSW pays co-payments, however, QLD does not. We want a uniform approach, as it should be, once approved by the Federal department. Please sign and get this issue in front of Parliament to make it right!
