Dose Administration Aids (DAA)

Dose Administration Aids (also known as DAA or medication packing) is a service designed to help people manage medications effectively and safely.

It involves organising prescribed medications into convenient, sealed packs, typically prepared on a weekly or fortnightly basis.

Each pack clearly labels the medication, dosage, and the specific time it needs to be taken, eliminating confusion and reducing the risk of missed doses or double-dosing.

Our DAA Services

We offer a range of Dose Administration Aids (DAAs), including blister packs, sachets, and multi-dose packaging, all tailored to meet your patients' specific needs.

We are committed to the secure and timely delivery of all medication packs directly to your designated facilities.

Our processes are designed to integrate seamlessly with your existing workflows, which minimises disruption and allows your clinic staff to spend less time on medication ordering and distribution.

  • Medications are sealed into individual blisters, typically organised by day and time of dose (e.g., morning, lunch, dinner, bedtime). This is a popular option for those with multiple medications taken at different times throughout the day.

  • Medications for each dose are sealed into individual sachets, which are then linked together in a continuous roll. This provides a compact and highly portable solution.

All medication packing is meticulously prepared at our dedicated, purpose-built packing facilities in Palmerston, Katherine and Alice Springs in the Northern Territory. Equipped with advanced automated packing technology and adhering to the highest standards of hygiene and quality control, our facilities ensure accuracy, efficiency, safety and hygiene.

Benefits of DAAs

Our medication packing service offers numerous advantages to help people stay on top of their health:

  • Our compact packs are perfect for everyday use, travel, or busy lifestyles. No more bulky pillboxes or rattling bottles.

  • Family members and carers can be confident that their loved ones are taking their medications correctly and safely.

  • Say goodbye to the daily routine of sorting pills. Our service frees up time for more important things.

  • Our clear, pre-sorted packs make it simple to take the right medication at the right time, every time.

  • By eliminating the need to sort multiple bottles and packets, medication packing significantly reduces the chance of taking the wrong medication or an incorrect dose.

  • Each pack is securely sealed, protecting your medications from moisture and contamination, and making them tamper-evident.
