PSA was established by the state professional pharmaceutical societies in 1977, some of which had been in existence for over 100 years. The establishment of PSA provided the profession not only with a national identity, but an opportunity to more effectively regulate its affairs, to achieve better coordination in consultation and liaison with the Commonwealth Government, other professions and industry. The society is the leading advocacy organisation for pharmacists, influencing attitudes, opinions and policies through representation, networking, consultation, continuing education, practice support, standards, guidelines and a range of publications and health promoting programs and resources. Student MembershipPSA Student Membership FormA special discounted rate of $85 membership is available for students and the benefits include:
Pharmaceutical Defense Limited - PDL (Insurance)While the various State Pharmaceutical Societies were formed earlier, it was soon realised that there was a need for specialised professional indemnity insurance for the pharmacy profession and so PDL was formed and now has a membership of around 13,500. Our other major activity is professional support for pharmacists who may have made an error or need help in problems associated with pharmacy practice.
95% of the Pharmacists of Australia choose PDL. Our history of being able to settle most claims promptly and discreetly avoiding publicity is an obvious factor, but the $20 million cover at a remarkably low premium must be an obvious attraction. |
