Fiona Doukas FANZCAP (InfDis, Edu.) says recognition through ANZCAP can open doors in the future that are not possible today. ‘No matter where your experience come from, whether that’s community or hospital, the skills that you gain are transferable.’

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.
