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

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