From today, any person living with HIV who has a prescription from a public hospital can access free HIV antiretroviral treatment (ART) medications from any public hospital pharmacy. All types of ART medications will be covered, including Cabenuva.

The program commencing on 1 July is a starting point, and while SA Health is exploring solutions for free ART dispensing via community pharmacy, Bobby Goldsmith Foundation has agreed to continue to provide financial support for HIV ART medications to approximately 80 community members who are accessing their medications via community pharmacy and already receiving support from BGF.

Community members are encouraged to not change current HIV care arrangements, as SA Health is actively exploring solutions for community pharmacies.

From 1 July 2026, people living with HIV in South Australia will be able to access free HIV antiretroviral treatment medications via SA public hospital pharmacies with a public hospital issued prescription.

This initiative is a step closer to equitable access for PLHIV and aims to bring South Australia in alignment with other jurisdictions across Australia.

Join us on Fri 19 June at 6PM for the reception of a Pride Month Collage Art Exhibition bringing together multicultural perspectives on sexual health, identity, and lived experience.

Throughout this work, collage becomes a quiet yet powerful act of decolonising—reimagining dominant narratives and creating space for stories that have too often been overlooked or silenced.

The exhibition will also be on display throughout June and can be viewed during weekdays between 10am and 4pm by appointment.
