Ahead of the Victorian Government's announcement recognising pharmacist training pathways, our Branch President George Tambassis and Committee Member (and Nelson's Pharmacy Glenroy owner) Nicole Hardwick were pleased to meet with Health Minister Mary-Anne Thomas MP and Member for Broadmeadows, Kathleen Matthews-Ward MP yesterday.

As Victorian pharmacists commence training accredited by the Australian Pharmacy Council (including the course just launched by Monash University), Nicole shared her team's journey over the last few years, of expanding the care offered to her patients by the Nelson's Team.

From the consultation rooms originally set up to support vaccinations throughout the pandemic, to supporting patients throughout the Community Pharmacist Program trial and the excitement to deliver a greater level of care for their patients, Nicole's journey towards full scope is so 'on brand' for community pharmacists across Victoria.

The Pharmacy Guild Of Australia - Victoria Branch thanks Premier Jacinta Allan and Minister Thomas for supporting a greater level of care for patients, that will soon be delivered by hardworking community pharmacists. We look forward to supporting all our members on their journey practicing to their full scope, particularly as they undertake their training from next year onwards.

It’s been a BIG week for pharmacists’ full scope of practice in Victoria!

✅ The Victorian Government has announced pharmacists who complete accredited postgraduate courses are eligible to join the Community Pharmacist Program.

✅ Enrolments have opened for Monash University’s Graduate Certificate of Pharmacist Prescribing.

Victoria’s recognition of full scope of training includes the Monash University postgraduate training, the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia’s Pharmacist Prescribing Scope of Practice Training Program and other accredited courses.

New health conditions and wellbeing services will be gradually added to the Community Pharmacist Program over the next two years.

This week, we were delighted to partner with the Pharmacy Guild of Australia - NSW Branch to deliver the joint Albury-Wodonga Guild Member Reception.

The event was a great opportunity to share cross-jurisdictional knowledge and updates with pharmacists from the Albury-Wodonga region – especially as both states continue to take steps towards implementing pharmacists’ full scope of practice.

Enabling pharmacists to provide the same services - not just in Victoria and NSW, but nationwide - will provide patients with universal access to health services, no matter which side of the border they live on.

A big thank you to all the dedicated community pharmacists who joined us and continue to provide accessible, patient-centred care to local communities every day.
