## Union of http://hl7.org.au/fhir/StructureDefinition/au-substance and http://hl7.org.au/fhir/StructureDefinition/au-substance

This is the set of resources that conform to either of the profiles AU Base Substance (http://hl7.org.au/fhir/StructureDefinition/au-substance) and AU Base Substance (http://hl7.org.au/fhir/StructureDefinition/au-substance). E.g. what you have to deal with if you get resources conforming to one of them
