Australian Pharmacy Council Major Sponsor
The Australian Pharmacy Council (APC) is the national accreditation authority for pharmacy education and training. We're an independent, not-for-profit company.
There are over 40,000 registered pharmacists currently in Australia. Our job is to ensure that they have the knowledge and competencies required for safe and effective practice at the point of general registration and beyond. Whether their journey is through Australian university programs, or they are qualified overseas, they need to meet the high standards that we set in order to practise in Australia.
On behalf of the Pharmacy Board of Australia our main functions are to:
- develop accreditation standards for pharmacy education programs
- assess pharmacy degree and intern training programs and other education programs against
our standards - conduct written examinations for pharmacists and interns wanting to register in Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji
- assess the qualifications and knowledge of overseas trained pharmacists who want to migrate to or practise in Australia
- develop support tools for intern workplace-based assessment.
We are very open to discussing all offers of sponsorship to support the Symposium, noting that sponsor participation across the program offers value for delegates and sponsors. It’s a small Symposium, but it is an opportunity to meet with educators from across the globe, and be part of a very special event, once every two years. If you are interested in sponsoring the symposium, please visit our sponsorship opportunities webpage.
