For the past 13 years the Commonwealth Department of Health has operated a computerized monitoring system which records the movements throughout Australia of selected legal drugs with abuse potential. The Drugs of Dependence Monitoring System is designed to prevent diversion to the illicit market. From the moment of import or manufacture, every movement of the selected drug is monitored until the drug reaches the final distributor, in most cases a pharmacy, a veterinarian or a hospital. Approximately 300,000 movements are checked each year. All drugs used in Australia, which are covered by the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, 1961, and the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances are included in the system. Reports are generated on quantities imported, exported, locally produced, used in manufacture and distributed. The result is that the risk of diversion has been reduced to a minimum. Information obtained from the system has proved of considerable assistance in fulfilling Australia's international treaty obligations.
在过去13年里，英联邦卫生部运行了一个计算机化监测系统，该系统记录了澳大利亚境内具有潜在滥用可能性的特定合法药物的流向。药物依赖监测系统旨在防止药物流入非法市场。从进口或生产之时起，所选药物的每一次流动都会受到监测，直至药物到达最终经销商，在大多数情况下是药店、兽医诊所或医院。每年大约会检查30万次药物流动情况。澳大利亚使用的所有药物，只要是《1961年麻醉品单一公约》和《1971年精神药物公约》所涵盖的，都被纳入该系统。该系统会生成关于药物进口、出口、本地生产、用于制造和分销的数量报告。结果是，药物流入非法市场的风险已降至最低。从该系统获取的信息已证明在履行澳大利亚的国际条约义务方面提供了相当大的帮助。
