Business / Provider Profile
The Australian Pharmacy Council (APC) is the national accreditation authority for pharmacy education and training. We do this under the National Registration and Accreditation Scheme (NRAS) working with the Pharmacy Board of Australia and Ahpra.
We're an independent, not-for-profit company.
Our work protects public health by setting and maintaining high standards of pharmacy education.
We help pharmacists deliver effective health care to meet our community's changing needs. We do this through:
Skills assessment
We assess pharmacists' skills and knowledge through qualification checks and exams. Our work ensures that pharmacists in Australia are work-ready. Learn more about pharmacist skills assessment.
Accreditation of programs and providers
We accredit pharmacy programs and continuing professional development (CPD) accrediting organisations in Australia and internationally. We develop and maintain the standards for these processes. Learn more about accreditation and standards.
