Libre 3 Plus soon to be available via NDSS subsidy
From 1 October 2026, Libre 3 Plus will be available as a standalone CGM sensor with the new Libre app (launching soon in Australia).
It can also be paired with select automated insulin delivery (AID) systems.
The world’s smallest CGM sensor is the same size as a $2 coin and tracks your glucose levels in real-time.
IMPORTANT: Libre 3 Plus will not be compatible with the currently available FreeStyle LibreLink app.
If you do not have a smartphone that is compatible with the new Libre app, or wish to use a reader, the FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus sensor will remain available on the NDSS to use with FreeStyle LibreLink app or FreeStyle Libre 2 reader.
How to upgrade to Libre 3 Plus
Book an in-person or telehealth appointment with your healthcare professional.
- Whether you are accessing subsidised CGM for the first time or upgrading from another CGM (including Libre 2 Plus), your healthcare professional will need to submit a form to the NDSS on your behalf.
- The NDSS will notify you once your upgraded access has been approved.
- Order and collect your subsidised sensors from your local NDSS Access Point (usually a pharmacy). You can order up to 3 months’ supply (6 sensors) each time. Annual limits apply.
Please note: Libre 3 Plus sensors are only available via the NDSS subsidy and cannot be purchased from libre.com.au
