MIMS updates the medicines data with at least 150 changes to the product information each month. It is very important therefore that users of eMIMS ensure that they have the latest information at their fingertips.
We send an updated eMIMS DVD three times per year – April, August and December. However, in between these releases, the monthly updates are provided on this site.
Full instructions on how to update the eMIMS application are detailed below.

Errata
PBS errata
The PBS have issued a second release of the PBS data for September 2025. This was initially just going to be covered by an errata notice. We were not able to include this late data in the September 2025 issue of eMIMS Classic.
The following are the changes present in the PBS Release 2 which are not encoded in the MIMS data:
- Adalimumab and Infliximab Restrictions
- Update to the way adalimumab and infliximab reference the Paediatric Crohn Disease Activity Index in the restrictions for paediatric Crohn disease. The correction to the restriction text will allow patients with 'severe intestinal inflammation' to qualify for treatment as an alternate pathway without needing a PCDAI assessment as initially intended.
- Peginterferon Restriction update Streamlined code
- Restriction changes to Peginterferon items gave the same Streamlined code to updated restrictions between Public and Private Hospital listings (HS/HB)
- Restriction content will not be updated, Streamlined code will be updated to have distinct Streamlined Authority restriction code for item codes listed under HS and HB programs.
- Dupilumab Grandfather Restriction update. Amendment to the Grandfather restriction for new item listings of dupilimab:
- FROM: Patient must be aged 6 to less than 12 years.
- TO: Patient must have been aged 6 to less than 12 years prior to starting non-PBS-subsidised treatment with this drug
