Board offers fast track rego
August 9, 2010
THE Pharmacy Board of Australia
has today announced a new “fast
track” registration option for
pharmacists who have omitted to
renew their registration under the
new national scheme.
Renewals which were due on 30
June or 01 July are now outside the
one month grace period, and those
who haven’t renewed will shortly
receive written advice that their
registration has lapsed.
The fast track application will be
available in recognition of the
“special circumstances around the
introduction of the national scheme
on 01 July,” the Board said.
For the special fast track scheme
the normal application fee will be
waived, but the annual registration
fee will still apply.
The fast track application differs
from the standard procedure in that
it does not require proof of identity,
and does not require verification of
qualifications if recorded as part of
previous registration.
The requirement to verify English
language skills has also been
waived, as well as details of
registration history, work history or
CPD declarations.
The letter advising of
deregistration will include a copy of
the fast track application, but it can
also be emailed to applicants who
call the 1300 419 495 helpline.
