'ANZCAP has the potential to make a significant difference to the career paths of all pharmacists'

Kay Dunkley FANZCAP (Lead&Mgmt) says ANZCAP recognises important career skills that may not have been taught or awarded by formal training. 'Having [your skills] formally recognised is really good and being able to have those post-nominals indicates that I have a skill set in that [particular] area.'

ANZCAP is a landmark program recognising career progression and specialty skills, enabling pharmacists and technicians from all practice settings to be recognised for their experience and expertise. 

SHPA’s recognition program enables the achievements of practitioners to be clearly and concisely understood by their employers and peers, by healthcare colleagues and, most importantly, by the patients in their care.

ANZCAP comprises an initial Foundation Program that acknowledges prior professional experience and an Independent Program for anyone, anywhere to map their own path. These are now open to all Australian pharmacists (Ahpra General Registration).

Training Programs to fast-track recognition progress over two years, recognition for Pharmacy Technicians and Custom Portfolios for personal professional use will be available in 2024.
