As far as I can tell no. Oxymorphone is NOT listed on The National Prescribing Service (NPS), The Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS), or The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA).

Below is a list of all opioids listed on the PBS-

N02AA - Natural opium alkaloids
- MORPHINE SULFATE
- HYDROMORPHONE HYDROCHLORIDE
- OXYCODONE HYDROCHLORIDE
- CODEINE PHOSPHATE with PARACETAMOL
- MORPHINE HYDROCHLORIDE
- OXYCODONE
- CODEINE PHOSPHATE
- MORPHINE TARTRATE

Note- oxymorphone is an active metabolite of oxycodone.

N02AB - Phenylpiperidine derivatives
- FENTANYL

N02AC - Diphenylpropylamine derivatives
- METHADONE HYDROCHLORIDE
- DEXTROPROPOXYPHENE NAPSYLATE

N02AE - Oripavine derivatives
- BUPRENORPHINE

N02AX - Other opioids
- TRAMADOL HYDROCHLORIDE
