New South Wales Australia is the only state or territory in the world to limit access to the methadone program. A program that is proven to reduce the illicit drug trade, theft and prostitution. Support this petition to have the methadone cap in pharmacies in NSW lifted for a safer and better Australia.
The scale of this response is compelling evidence that the current pharmacy cap is unsustainable. I am currently drafting a formal brief for the Ministry of Health to outline the necessity of policy reform.

I agree totally with this as being on the methadone program myself I understand & was affected by cap on methadone prescribers as it stopped me from being on it which stopped me from being able to better my life like I wished too & that I am so greatful for doctor kertesz & nick of ABC pharmacy for giving me the chance to live a stable life. This is why this cap needs to be taken away for all of these other people who are in the same situation as I was & to allow these people to better their life like they want to but are unable to due to this cap .
