It is based on the [AU Base Medication Request](https://hl7.org.au/fhir/5.0.0/StructureDefinition-au-medicationrequest.html) profile and identifies the *additional* mandatory core elements, extensions, vocabularies and value sets that **SHALL** be present in the MedicationRequest when conforming to this profile.
