What is it?

A DAA is a device or packaging system for organising doses of medicines according to the time of administration. Different types of DAAs include blister or bubble packs, compartmentalised boxes, and compliance packs such as those provided by automated medication dispensing systems. A DAA is a tool to be used in a coordinated approach to medication management.

*The legislation and service provider policies applying to DAAs will differ between states and territories.
