Fourth term for Kardachi
July 4, 2014
Pharmaceutical Society of
Australia National President, Grant
Kardachi, was yesterday re-elected
for a fourth term at a meeting of
the PSA National Board in Canberra.
The meeting also re-elected Joe
Demarte as Vice President, while
outgoing Vice President, Claire
O’Reilly, has been replaced by
Michelle Lynch.
Kardachi said he was honoured
to have been chosen once again to
lead the PSA’s 18,000 members for
another year.
“Over the past few years PSA has
gained greater respect, recognition
and acceptance as being the major
representative voice of the whole
of the pharmacy profession in this
country,” he claimed.
“PSA has members from all
sectors of the pharmacy profession,
from all areas of Australia, and this
gives the Society strength as well as
great responsibility,” he added.
Kardachi said the profession
is also entering an important
period, with negotiations for
the next Community Pharmacy
Agreement set to begin soon
as well as new business models
becoming increasingly important to
pharmacy’s sustainability.
He said the PSA had developed
close working relationships with
a range of stakeholders, with a
view to seeking opportunities
for pharmacists while improving
the health outcomes of the
communities that they serve.
