If you are intending to migrate to Australia you will need a skills assessment completed by APEC but will not be required to complete the APEC examination process. If your qualifications do not immediately meet the Australian requirements, there are two options. The first is to complete an Australian pharmacy degree course at a recognised Australian university. The qualifications awarded by these institutions satisfy the formal academic requirements for registration by all State and Territory pharmacy registering authorities. If you enrol in an award course, you may gain credit for your overseas studies.
Universities are self-governing and determine their own entry requirements for credit transfers.
You will then need to complete a period of supervised practical training - conditions vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Applicants need to formally apply for an assessment to determine their eligibility to undertake the examination process. Applicants must have completed an approved pharmacy course which included a minimum component of the equivalent of three years of full time academic study. The applicant must also be registered or be eligible for registration as a pharmacist in the country in which the qualification was obtained. It is not an application to sit the Stage I Examination.
