SNOMED CT-AU and Australian Medicines Terminology January 2025 Release

The National Clinical Terminology Service (NCTS) is pleased to announce that the January release of SNOMED CT® AU[1] with the Australian Medicines Terminology (AMT) is now available to registered users from the NCTS website.

The latest Release Note and all release files (RF2 bundle, reference sets) can be downloaded from the ACCESS tab.

Where can I find AMT version 3 to version 4 resources?

Since the release of AMT v4 in September 2024, many users have requested the AMT v3 to v4 change support documents, which were initially available during the AMT v4 testing period.

These change support documents are now accessible in the NCTS Document Library to assist with the transition.
For those who require further assistance, please complete the online support request form or email help@digitalhealth.gov.au. 

Where can I find technical guides and other resources?

All SNOMED CT AU and AMT documentation, including technical and implementation guides, is freely available for download from the NCTS Document Library without registering or logging in. However, if you are a registered user we recommend that you log in before downloading any material so that we can better target our communications to you, based on the resources that you have downloaded.

Terminology browsers

Shrimp[2] is available online at https://ontoserver.csiro.au/shrimp. Search both SNOMED CT AU and AMT content, or browse the hierarchies by selecting the latest version of “SNOMED Clinical Terms Australian Extension” in the drop-down menu.
