Code of Conduct Review

The Medicines Australia Code of Conduct has been in operation since the early 1960s.

The Code of conduct requires Medicines Australia to carry out a review of the provisions of the Code, after seeking input from interested parties no later than every three years. The Code was last reviewed between August 2008 and January 2009, with the 16th Edition of the Code authorised by the ACCC on 3 December 2009 and coming into effect on 1 January 2010. In line with this review cycle, Medicines Australia is now conducting a review of the Code of Conduct which will lead to the 17th Edition.

Submissions are sought from individuals, healthcare professional or patient organisations, pharmaceutical companies and other interested parties on the existing Code. The closing date for submissions is Friday 4 November 2011.

Submissions need not comment on all provisions of the Code, however it is requested that you identify which provision of the Code you are commenting on to ensure a robust review of your submission by the Code Review Panel.

Please send submissions addressed to the Secretary of the Code of Conduct Committee:
