Registration update
January 19, 2011
THE chairman of the Pharmacy
Board of Australia has advised that
pharmacists who have lodged
registation renewals within a month
of their registration expiry date
“can continue to practise pharmacy
while that application is being
assessed.”
In an update issued yesterday,
Stephen Marty said that
pharmacists in all states and
territories except Western Australia
should have applied to renew
registration by now.
Pharmacists in SA, NSW,
Tasmania and Victoria swho did not
register by the expiry date in their
jurisdiction have until the end of
this month to renew.
After the expiry of this one month
grace period, names will be
removed from the register and
pharmacists who have not applied
to renew maynot practise until they
lodge a new application and their
name is returned to the Register.
Pharmacists are able to view their
current registration status at
pharmacyboard.gov.au.
Marty said that once applications
for renewal of registration have
been processed, the records will be
updated, with this normally
occurring within two to 48 hours for
applications lodged online.
