Tooling upgrades are underway to support the release of SNOMED CT-AU with AMTv4 in September 2024. As part of the change, the downloadable SNOMED CT-AU change report will no longer be available after August 2024 release. It will be replaced by a widget that allows comparison between two specific release dates.. The new widget is now available and ready for use.
Aligned with the first release of SNOMED CT-AU with AMTv4 in September 2024, the RF2 delta file will no longer be included in the SNOMED CT-AU RF2 bundle. However, a SNOMED International Delta Generation Tool is provided for users who need it. This tool allows users to generate deltas between two specific release dates.

The Australian Medicines Terminology (AMT) model has been significantly revised to version 4. This will be available from the September 2024 release with the last SNOMED CT-AU containing AMT (version 3) being August 2024.
Since the first release of the current AMT model (v3), there have been changes to the SNOMED RF2 specification, and the introduction of the SNOMED International Drug model. Better integration with SNOMED CT enables streamlining of content and a substantial enhancement to the AMT, such improved interoperability with international systems and data, and new clinical use capabilities through therapeutic roles for medicine products.
For details on all the changes and access to test files for SNOMED CT-AU containing AMT (version 4), please visit SNOMED CT-AU beta testing files. The content is also available in the Shrimp browser by selecting AU (Experimental) – Latest from the version dropdown menu.
