Introduction

Following completion of the requirements for the Bachelor of Pharmacy course, graduates must complete a period of practical training and pass the final examination conducted by the Pharmacy Board of Victoria to be eligible for registration as a pharmacist.
This period of practical training must be regarded as an integral part of a five-year program leading to registration as a pharmacist. The period of practical training provides for the graduate to obtain practical experience under supervision of the many aspects of clinical pharmacy and applied therapeutics.
Note that the Pharmacy Board of Victoria must approve both the pharmacy premises in which the practical training is to take place and the tutor responsible for the conduct of the training prior to the commencement of the training. For further information, see Part 3, Division 1 of the Pharmacy Board Guidelines.
