Special Access Scheme (SAS)

The Special Access Scheme (SAS) allows certain health practitioners to access therapeutic goods (such as medicines, medical devices or biologicals) that are not included in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) for a single patient. Therapeutic goods that are not included in the ARTG (and are not otherwise exempt from being in the ARTG) are described by us as 'unapproved'.

For details go to Special Access Scheme.

Medical practitioners that wish to access an 'unapproved' therapeutic good for a class of patients rather than an individual should visit the Authorised Prescribers web page.

If you are seeking to access medicinal cannabis products, please go to the Access to medicinal cannabis products web page.
