Find out how an education provider can seek accreditation of a pharmacist education program.
APC accredits pharmacist education programs. We do not accredit or credential individual pharmacists or pharmacies.
If you are seeking training in one of these areas, contact the providers directly.
If you are wanting to find out about implementation or remuneration via government funded programs, contact the Department of Health and Aged Care for further information.
An 'accredited' pharmacist education program meets all criteria in the relevant program accreditation standards.
A pharmacist education program that is 'accredited with conditions' substantially meets these standards, and is expected to fully meet them in a reasonable time frame.
When a program is 'accredited with conditions', the provider must report to us as required. Education providers can still deliver these programs, and learners can still complete these programs.
