# Does the Safety Net 20 Day Rule apply to 60DD prescriptions?

When the Department of Health and Aged Care has indicated that the current Safety Net 20 Day Rule will be amended to account for 60DD, they will not be ready to implement this change on 1 September 2023. As such, the Safety Net 20 Day Rule will apply for 60DD until a future change is made. The change  will not be made before 1 December 2023.
