The Pharmacy Registration Board of Western Australia is established under the Pharmacy Act 2010 (the Act) and is the successor in law to the Pharmaceutical Council of Western Australia. It is responsible for administration of the Act which provides for the regulation of pharmacy businesses.
The Act maintains the requirement that a pharmacy business be carried on from premises that are registered by the Board.
In Western Australia, in addition to a pharmacy business being owned by a pharmacist, it can also be owned by other legal entities including a pharmacist controlled company.
