From a SMH report:

About 15,000 additional doses of a new COVID-19 treatment already showing promise in Sydney’s hospitals will arrive in Australia this week.
Sotrovimab, a novel monoclonal antibody treatment administered by a one-time intravenous infusion, was approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration on August 20.
The treatment has been shown to reduce hospitalisation or death by 79 per cent for adults with mild to moderate COVID-19 at risk of developing a more severe disease.
Professor Greg Dore, an infectious diseases physician at St Vincent’s Hospital, said the treatment was having a “potential impact” on reducing intensive care numbers, and was particularly useful as it could be administered to people receiving treatment for COVID-19 at home during a short appointment.
“We just bring them in for a couple of hours ... it is administered over 30 minutes or half an hour and a half observation period after that they go home,” he explained.
In a statement, federal Health Minister Greg Hunt said the treatment “has the potential to protect Australians from developing serious disease, and reduce hospitalisations and death in people who are at high risk from COVID-19″.
“Vaccination, however, continues to remain the most important and safest way for Australians to protect themselves and their loved ones from COVID-19,” he said.
