Chronic Wound Consumables Scheme (CWCS)

The Chronic Wound Consumables Scheme (CWCS) is a government-funded initiative designed to reduce the financial burden of wound care and improve healing outcomes, by ensuring patients have access to the right products at the right time. The scheme provides essential wound care products at no cost, to eligible Australians living with diabetes and a chronic wound.

Chronic wounds can significantly affect a person’s quality of life and often require long-term care. Until now, many patients have had to pay out-of-pocket for wound consumables, resulting in delayed or inadequate treatment. The implementation of the scheme means patients can receive the highest standard of care, using the highest quality products with no out-of-pocket expense.
