What is the difference between the DAA Program offered by the Pharmacy Guild of Australia and the DAA Service by DVA?
There are three differences. • The cost to the patient. The Pharmacy Guild of Australia’s DAA Program may be recommended by a pharmacist or GP and generally requires the patient to make a payment to the pharmacist for the service. The DVA DAA Service is free to the eligible veteran. • A Home Medicines Review The DVA DAA Service strongly recommends that the veteran receive a Home Medicines Review where this service is available. The pharmacist reviews the veteran’s medicine, often in the veteran’s home, is able to assess all of the medications and make recommendations to the veteran’s GP, including the need for a DAA. • A six-month review The DVA DAA Service requires that the veteran receive a six-month assessment by the community pharmacist who will make a recommendation to the veteran’s GP on continuity of the DAA Service.
