Life Saving Drugs Register

The Life Saving Drugs Register (LSDR) provides indicative stock holding information of life saving drugs (including antivenoms and antidotes) in hospitals, their location within the hospital and hospital contact details so that this information can be shared with other hospitals within NSW.

In October 2023, the CEC launched an enhanced LSDR and made it available in an online platform, updated daily in near real-time.

Downtime

In the event of a downtime, please contact CEC-LSDR@health.nsw.gov.au for an offline copy of the LSDR.

Expert Advisory Group

The Clinical Excellence Commission is establishing a Life Saving Drugs Expert Advisory Group (EAG) to provide advice to the CEC on future enhancements to the Life Saving Drugs Register online solution and develop strategies to improve access to these medicines across the state. The EAG will be formed in 2024.
