Pharmacy Approval Numbers – Government releases new location and pharmacy approval number rules

Please be advised that substantial amendments have been made to what is commonly referred to as the "Pharmacy Location Rules".

These changes have been issued September and take effect from 18th October 2011! Registered Pharmacists across Australia have or will shortly be sent information pertaining to these changes by the Australian Government - Department of Health & Ageing.

The changes will affect all community pharmacies and we recommend you become familiar with these changes.

The National Health (Australian Community Pharmacy Authority Rules) Determination 2006 which outlines the current ‘Pharmacy Location Rules’ will be replaced by The National Health (Australian Community Pharmacy Authority Rules) Determination 2011.

The changes and the relevant impacts are complex but expected to have a substantial impact on the process to obtain approval and Pharmacy Approval Numbers in general throughout Australia.

Medici Capital has reviewed these changes in depth and can provide a commercial opinion as to the expected impact this could potentially have on your current and future plans in pharmacy.

Please call to discuss how Medici Capital can assist. Please note due to the expected high number of enquiries and the complexity of the changes Medici Capital will be required to charge for any specific advice in relation to this matter.
