The Stoma Appliance Scheme Schedule is a list of all products which are available to SAS participants. The SAS Schedule provides information about the product code of each listed item, its description, and its monthly or annual commonwealth government funded allowance.

As a rule of thumb, the following standard allowances apply to Stoma Appliance Scheme listed product types. It is important to remember though that each monthly or annual allowance is by product type or purpose, not by individual product code. This is because under Scheme rules, where more than one product with the same purpose (eg: adhesive remover product, barrier product, pouching product etc) is requested within the same entitlement period, the allocation of all products with that purpose must be prorated across the total product purpose allowance.
