Chronic Injury Management: Patient Information
In certain clinical contexts, adjunctive therapies may be considered under established regulatory pathways, such as the TGA’s Special Access Scheme (SAS-B) or via an Authorised Prescriber.
These pathways are used to access treatments not currently registered on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) but which may have specific clinical merit in defined scenarios.
When Special Access TGA Prescribing of Adjunctive Treatments Be Considered?
Following thorough medical assessment, individualised treatment may be considered for patients with:
Chronic or treatment-resistant soft tissue injuries
Recovery following musculoskeletal surgery
Certain inflammatory or repair-limiting conditions
Note: These treatments are not provided for cosmetic, wellness, aesthetic enhancement, or general anti-ageing purposes. They are not substitutes for first-line medical, surgical, or rehabilitative interventions.
Our Clinical Process
We follow a structured and ethically guided approach to determine whether adjunctive treatment is appropriate:
1. Initial Clinical Assessment
All patients begin with a telehealth consultation with a qualified doctor. This includes:
Medical history review
Assessment of previous treatments and imaging
Consideration of standard care options and alternatives
2. Pathology and Diagnostic Screening
Relevant tests may include:
Hormonal or inflammatory markers
Imaging studies
Functional assessments as clinically indicated
3. Eligibility Review and Regulatory Application
If clinically appropriate, your doctor may submit:
A Special Access Scheme (SAS-B) application on your behalf, or
Initiate prescribing under an existing Authorised Prescriber framework
4. Informed Consent and Monitoring
If prescribing proceeds:
You will receive a detailed explanation of the treatment rationale, risks, benefits, and alternatives
Follow-up appointments and safety monitoring will be arranged

Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) regulations
