Survey Approvals
The Pharmacy Guild of Australia has in place a vetting process for proposed industry surveys and studies which involve community pharmacists and pharmacy staff.
Many field research operators may seek to collect and use information for purposes not necessarily in the interest of those surveyed. It is therefore desirable that the credentials and objectives of the researchers be clearly ascertained beforehand. The Guild can do this more readily than individual members.
Each survey is approved for a limited time-frame – most for one month. In the case of long-standing/periodic surveys, approval is reviewed annually.

For Members
A researcher who has been granted Guild endorsement should supply the survey certificate number when making contact to request participation of members. If the researcher fails to do so, members are advised to request this number from the researcher before agreeing to participate. All Guild endorsed survey certificate numbers are published below. If however, members require further clarifications on any surveys, questionnaires conducted by companies, individuals or market research groups, they are encouraged to contact the National Secretariat or the State and Territory Branches before participating.
