The Special Access Scheme (SAS) & Authorised Prescriber (AP) scheme Online System (SAS & AP online system) is the preferred method of submission for SAS applications and notifications. The SAS & AP online system is designed to reduce administrative burden and provide health practitioners and organisations such as hospitals with additional reporting and management functions to assist in the management of their SAS applications and notifications.
This document provides users of the system with guidance about how to use the system. To reduce processing times, healthcare practitioners are strongly encouraged to submit submissions through the online system.
If you wish to access information regarding the submission of Authorised Prescriber applications via the online system, please refer to the Authorised Prescriber Scheme Online System User Guidance.
For information regarding the Special Access Scheme, please refer to the Special Access Scheme: Guidance for health practitioners and sponsors.
