THE Australian Pharmacy Council (APC) has announced that the expression of interest (EOI) to participate in the public consultation forums for the Pharmacist Capability Framework is now open.
The framework is to be used for accreditation and general registration purposes, with the APC engaged by the Pharmacy Board of Australia to develop it (PD 27 Mar).
It will describe the capabilities of a newly registered pharmacist and underpin the future education of pharmacists, ensuring they can adapt to a changing environment.
Preliminary consultations with key stakeholders were held in May-Jun 2025, and will now be followed by four public forums in Nov 2025.
Forums will be held in Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane and online.
These forums will enable stakeholders to provide input into the development of the framework, and the APC will review all EOIs received to ensure that a wide range of groups and individuals can contribute.
Public consultation papers, including the draft framework, will be published on APC's website in early Nov.
The EOI to participate in the public forums will be open until Fri 26 Sep 2025, and invitations will be issued from early Oct 2025. KB
