Tasmania  // PREPX-TAS

UPDATE:

The PrEPX-TAS Study is now no longer accepting participants. From April 1, PrEPX-SA patients will be migrated off the study and onto private scripts.

To find our more about what accessing PrEP on the
PBS is like for you, head over to PrEP on the PBS page

You can use that same PBS to access PrEP through personal importation, which is cheaper than the PBS price for many.

Info about PrEPX-TAS:

PrEPX-TAS is the latest extension of the PrEPX study, run by Alfred Health which originally rolled out in Victoria. This extension has allowed for an additional 100 places in Tasmania. The criteria for entry are the same as PrEPX in Victoria, and the price will be the same. If you are unable to access the study for any reason, you can import low cost PrEP still, and good news is coming…

Soon, as PrEP is to be listed on the PBS – affordable PrEP will be available at your local pharmacy with a script.
