Special Access Scheme and Authorised Prescribers online system

Most therapeutic goods are required to undergo an evaluation for quality, safety and efficacy and be included in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) before they can be supplied in Australia.

In recognition that there are circumstances where patients need access to therapeutic goods that are not included in the ARTG, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) manages the Special Access Scheme (SAS) and Authorised Prescriber Scheme (AP).

Submitting an application or notification through the SAS or Authorised Prescriber Online System (portal) will reduce processing times.
