5 October 2016 - The Pharmacy Guild of Australia has lodged its submission in response to the Review of Pharmacy Remuneration and Regulation Discussion Paper.

The submission will help inform the next stage of the Review process which will commence following the release of the Interim Report in late 2016. This will highlight key issues raised during earlier consultations and will include draft recommendations.

The Pharmacy Guild of Australia has made a series of recommendations to the Review of Pharmacy Remuneration and Regulation that would deliver improved patient outcomes and sustain local community pharmacies into the 2020s and beyond.

The Guild strongly supports the tried and tested community pharmacy model, which is underpinned by Location Rules that ensure that Australians have high levels of accessibility to medicines through a well-distributed network of community pharmacies that are owned by pharmacists who have a professional obligation to deliver quality health outcomes for their patients.
