THE Australian Pharmacy Council (APC) has released its five-year strategy for pharmacy education and assessment in Australia, setting out four key themes that will guide its work through to 2030.

The vision places a strong emphasis on demonstrating the APC’s value to the profession, supporting workforce development, embedding cultural safety for First Nations people, and promoting organisational resilience.

“[The strategy] reflects our deep focus on supporting pharmacists in achieving general registration and strengthening workforce capability, recognising the increasing complexity of healthcare, and the need for a future-ready pharmacy workforce,” a spokesperson for APC said.

The four pillars of the 2025-2030 strategy are:

* empowering pharmacy within the National Registration and Accreditation Scheme, upholding excellence to ensure the profession remains safe, capable and responsive to community needs;

* advancing the pharmacy workforce by supporting the growth and evolution of the profession;

* ensuring a culturally safe environment for First Nations pharmacists and patients; and

* building an ethical, resilient and sustainable organisation.

“This strategy is about shaping a safe future for pharmacy in Australia through education and assessment,” said APC Chair, Professor Sarah Roberts-Thomson.

“It reflects our values, our responsibilities, and our ambition to lead with purpose and deliver meaningful outcomes for the profession and the people we serve,” she added.
