Accreditation is evolving to reflect modern pharmacy practice — here’s what’s coming with QSPP.

📢 Community pharmacy accreditation is evolving! 📢

From October 2026, the Quality Care Pharmacy Program (QCPP) will evolve into the Quality and Safety Pharmacy Program (QSPP).

This shift reflects how community pharmacy practice has grown since QCPP began, ensuring accreditation keeps pace with current and future models of care.

The QSPP will accredit against AS85000:2024, aligning community pharmacy accreditation with contemporary healthcare principles and the National Safety and Quality Primary and Community Healthcare Standards.

What’s evolving with QSPP?
✅ Streamlined framework: 5 domains reduced to 4
✅ New tiered assessment model based on service complexity:
• Level 1 – General Pharmacy Practice
• Level 2 – Vaccination and Medicine Administration Services
• Level 3 – Full Scope of Practice
• Level 4 – Complex Compounding
✅ Extended 3‑year accreditation cycle with a mid‑cycle review

A phased transition will support community pharmacies every step of the way.
