The government is now operating in accordance with the Guidance on Caretaker Conventions, pending the outcome of the 2025 federal election.
Special Access Scheme (SAS) and Authorised Prescriber (AP) scheme submissions must be lodged through the SAS & AP Online System - external site. This 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 applications and notifications.
This document provides a step-by-step guide on how to use the 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.
