Payments to Healthcare Professionals

AstraZeneca believes that providing information to the public about our company, our medicines and how we do business serves the best interests of patients

As a member of Medicines Australia, AstraZeneca has undertaken to be open and transparent when we provide a reportable payment of transfer of value to a healthcare professional. Reportable payments or transfers of value are:

  • Payments for the provision of services such as giving a lecture, chairing an educational meeting, providing advice as a member of an Advisory Board or as a Consultant
  • Airfares, accommodation and/or conference registration fees to attend medical education as part of the provision or services or as a participant.

AstraZeneca prepares transfer of value reports every 6 months for publication in accordance with the Medicines Australia Code of Conduct, Edition 20 and Australia's Privacy legislation. Healthcare Professionals who agree to provide services on behalf of AstraZeneca Australia do so with full disclosure regarding the requirement for transparency reporting.

This information is held in a database, administered by Medicines Australia. This database is designed to be searchable as well as downloaded as a CSV file. For further information about the details in the report, or to search the database, please visit www.DisclosureAustralia.com.au

To comply with our privacy obligations, reports may be amended from time to time to contain the most up to date information. Any use or disclosure of the data by a third party is the responsibility of that third party, who must comply with the Australian Privacy Act 1988. For further information about the details in the report, please go to www.medicinesaustralia.com.au

In addition to disclosing transfers of value to Healthcare Professionals, AstraZeneca also disclose sponsorship of third party educational meetings and symposia, and payments made to Health Consumer Organisations.

These reports will be available for at least three years from the date of publication.
