National Board consultation
September 21, 2012
A CONSULTATION paper on the
National Registration and
Accreditation Scheme is calling for
feedback on the accreditation
arrangements of the National
Boards for the chiropractic,
medical, optometry, psychology,
physiotherapy, osteopathy, podiatry
and pharmacy professions.
The consultation, which
commenced yesterday, is part of a
process under the National Law
which requires National Boards to
view the arrangements for
accreditation by 30 Jun 2013.
Since the National Scheme
commenced accreditation for
pharmacists has been assigned to
the Australian Pharmacy Council,
which has developed standards for
programs of study leading to a
qualification required for
registration as a pharmacist for
approval by the Board.
APC also accredits intern training
programs and assesses overseas
authorities and pharmacists who
have qualified abroad.
The consultation paper says the
Board is able to continue the
existing arrangements, appoint an
alternative external accreditation
entity, or establish an accreditation
committee of the National Board.
The paper is available online at
www.pharmacyboard.gov.au, with
feedback accepted via email to
accreditationreview@ahpra.gov.au
by close of business on Fri 02 Nov.
The Australian Pharmacy Council
has already made a submission,
outlining its governance, finances,
independence, transparency and
operational management.
The consultation paper includes a
preliminary conclusion by the
National Board “to continue the
current arrangements of exercising
accreditation functions through the
Australian Pharmacy Council”.
