Decommission of the Doctor’s Bag mobile application
In January 2023, the Doctor’s Bag (DBA) mobile application was transitioned from the former NPS MedicineWise to the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care (the Commission). The DBA presents health professionals with medicines information during a medical emergency for medicines subsidised via the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme. The DBA was launched in May 2015.
The Commission has made the decision to decommission the Doctor’s Bag mobile application at midday AEDT, Tuesday 10 February 2026. Although users of the DBA will be able to continue to use the app as it is native to the device, it is not recommended given the information provided in the app will no longer be updated.
