Changes to registration processes for pharmacies and financial interests

Dear pharmacists and pharmacy owners,

We are writing to you to advise that the process to complete your annual declaration of financial interest in a pharmacy business will be different this year.

This is part of wider changes we are implementing to improve the way we process pharmacy ownership applications. This will offer greater convenience to pharmacists and pharmacy owners.

In May, you will receive an email prompting you to complete your annual declaration of financial interest. In this email we will provide instructions on how to complete the process.

What is changing?

You must have a MyServiceNSW account to complete your annual declaration. This is to help us verify your identity when you submit your declaration.
Your MyServiceNSW email address must be the same as your email address registered with Ahpra.

What do I need to do now?

Have your Ahpra registration number and email address registered with Aphra handy.
Make sure your MyServiceNSW email address is the same as your email address registered with Aphra. Log into your MyServiceNSW account to change your email address.
If you do not have a MyServiceNSW account, create an account using your email address registered with Aphra.
Look at the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) page on the Pharmacy Council website for more information.

I do not know my Ahpra details. What should I do?

To confirm your Ahpra registration details, please contact Ahpra via an online enquiry or by phone on 1300 419 495.

I am based interstate. Do I need a MyServiceNSW account?

Yes. If you do not have a MyServiceNSW account, you will need to create an account using your email address registered with Aphra.

Do I need a MyServiceNSW account to complete my annual renewal of pharmacy premises registration?

You do not need a MyServiceNSW account for the annual renewal of your pharmacy premises registration. In May, an email will be sent to the email address of the pharmacy addressed to ‘the proprietor’ prompting renewal of your pharmacy’s registration.
