PSA peak body funding
May 9, 2016
THE Federal
Government has
awarded the
Pharmaceutical Society
of Australia (PSA) with
national peak health
body funding.
The national funding
status, announced
at PSA’s Offshore
Refresher 2016
conference in South
Africa, recognises the
organisation’s advisory,
policy formulation, education and
representation of pharmacists with
peak body status as part of the
Health Peak and Advisory Bodies
Programme (HPAB).
PSA National President Joe
Demarte welcomed the peak health
body funding as a major first for
the organisation, saying the HPAB
funding support highlighted that
PSA was truly representative of
the entire pharmacist profession in
Australia.
“It’s an historic and important
achievement for PSA to be
official awarded funding by the
Government as the peak national
health body for registered
pharmacists in Australia,” he said.
“We are exceptionally proud that
PSA comprehensively represents all
registered pharmacists in Australia
– including community, hospital,
accredited, industry and military
pharmacists as well as pharmacists
working in academia,” he added, as
well as thanking the government
for its support and the recognition.
