RURAL Pharmacy Maintenance Allowance: The submission period for Rural Pharmacy Maintenance Allowance (RPMA) renewal applications closes on 14 June 2019.
Applications must be lodged by 14 June 2019 for the allowance year beginning 1 July 2019.
If the RPMA Certification Statement (renewal application) is not submitted within this timeframe then, in accordance with the RPMA Program Rules, RPMA payments may be delayed or ceased.
To complete an RPMA renewal application, log into the Pharmacy Programs Administrator Portal, navigate to the RPMA program page for your pharmacy, and compete the required fields.
Instructions for completing these steps can be found in the RPMA Portal User Guide.
Once submitted, the renewal application will display a status of "pending" until the RPMA Payment Matrix for 2019-20 is finalised by the Department of Health and your payment can be calculated.
If you have any questions about this process contact the Support Centre at support@ppaonline.com.au or call 1800 951 285.
