Medicines Advice Initiative Australia (MAIA) is a consortium dedicated to improving the use of medicines and related health services in Australia.
This consortium is led by the Quality Use of Medicines and Pharmacy Research Centre at the University of South Australia in collaboration with the Australian Medicines Handbook (AMH), the Drug and Therapeutics Information Service (DATIS), the Discipline of General Practice The University of Adelaide, the National Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation (NACCHO), the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia (PSA) and the Council of Australian Therapeutic Advisory Groups (CATAG).
MAIA develops educational interventions to target specific health care problems. These resources and activities have been developed for a range of audiences, including General Practitioners, Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHOs) through NACCHO, pharmacists, and hospitals and health service organisations.
