Queensland

Since 2014, Queensland community pharmacists have been at the forefront of service delivery, beginning with the Queensland Pharmacy Immunisation Pilot and the Urinary Tract Infection Pharmacy Pilot – Queensland in 2020. These initiatives quickly became standard practice, offering Queenslanders of all ages better access to safe and convenient immunisation services and enabling women to receive immediate treatment for uncomplicated UTIs from their local community pharmacy.

Building on the success of these pilots, Queensland is now advancing with two new initiatives: the Queensland Community Pharmacy Scope of Practice Pilot and the Queensland Community Hormonal Contraception Pilot. These pilots are designed to improve access to high-quality primary healthcare services for Queenslanders. Community pharmacists, who are highly qualified and trusted members of the healthcare team, are receiving additional clinical training to support them in practising to their full scope. QLD community pharmacists can now treat and manage 21 everyday health conditions.
