THE Pharmacy Board of Australia is accepting late applications for practitioner member vacancies, which can now be lodged through until 5pm on 09 Mar 2018.
The Board said the closing date had been extended to "give registered practitioners more time to express interest in being part of health practitioner regulation nationally".
Pharmacists from the Northern Territory and the Australian Capital Territory are especially encouraged to apply, according to a Board communique issued yesterday.
The three-yearly recruitment rounds are an opportunity for Australian Health Ministers to consider appointments so that National Boards have the best mix of experience, new and diverse views to help inform their regulatory decision-making.
Registered practitioners are also able to express interest in the role of Board Chair, while Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are strongly encouraged to apply, as are people from rural or regional areas of the country.
There are eight practitioner member positions available.
More information on the vacancies and how to apply can be viewed on the Board's website at pharmacyboard.gov.au.
