Appeal Committee Meeting Dates

An Appeal Committee is convened only once Medicines Australia receives notification of appeal in relation to a complaint. The Committee is convened at the earliest date available, taking into account the response timelines set out in the Code.

Membership of Medicines Australia Code Committee

Members of the Code of Conduct, Appeals and Monitoring Committees will not discuss complaints with a healthcare professional, member of the general public or pharmaceutical company. Any contact from or discussions with Complainants or Subject Companies will be declared by the Committee member prior to reviewing a complaint or materials before the Monitoring Committee.

All questions relating to particular complaints or the Code of Conduct more broadly should be directed to the Secretary of the Code of Conduct Committee at Medicines Australia.
