Time to check registration
October 6, 2011
THE Pharmacy Board of Australia
is urging all pharmacists to check
their registration and renew on
time, as the 30 November date for
registration draws ever closer.
Pharmacists who renewed their
registration by 30 June this year
were given a five month registration,
and as such must renew again.
“The registration renewal cycle
for all pharmacists in Australia will
then be aligned and annual
registration renewal will be due by
30 November,” said Pharmacy
Board Chair Stephen Marty.
To aid pharmacists in their efforts,
the Pharmacy Board suggests that
they should search the National
Registers of Pharmacists by name
and profession, published online at
www.pharmacyboard.gov.au to
confirm their registration expiry date.
In addition the Board has said
that pharmacists should take the
time to update their AHPRA contact
details, ensuring they are correct
and current, allowing the
organisation to send reminders.
Pharmacists should also set email
accounts to be able to receive
communications from AHPRA and
the Pharmacy Board to avoid junk
box misdirection, and associated
renewal complications.
“Under the National Law, all
registered pharmacists are
responsible for renewing their
registration on time each year and
there is no option for AHPRA or the
National Board to renew your
registration after it has lapsed
without a new application,” Marty
stressed.
