Pharmacist Rego Deadline Looms

Pharmacists have just eight days to renew their registration or they will face a late payment fee on top of the $317 annual fee.

Stephen Marty, Pharmacy Board of Australia chair, revealed 65% of pharmacists had already renewed their registration by yesterday afternoon, with the majority of those doing so online.

“It’s great to see pharmacists heeding the call to renew online and on time,” he said.

“‘I urge all pharmacists who have not yet renewed their registration to act now by using AHPRA’s secure online service for renewal.”

Pharmacists, whose application is received on time or during the following one month late period, can continue practising while their application is processed.
