The National Epidermolysis Bullosa Dressing Scheme (NEBDS) has two cycles annually when Suppliers are given the opportunity to submit applications for new products to be considered for listing on the NEBDS Product Schedule or replacement of products currently listed on the NEBDS Product Schedule. Applications are to be submitted to Independence Australia as administrator of the NEBDS.

Date for Applications:

  • Cycle 1: 1st February (or nearest business day)
  • Cycle 2: 16th August (or nearest business day)

Application Process:

  1. Suppliers proposing to list new or replacement products on the NEBDS Product Schedule are required to submit a completed application form, and provide proposed pricing, product information and a product sample.
