About APC

The Australian Pharmacy Council (APC) is an independent not-for-profit company, responsible for the accreditation of pharmacy education and training, under the National Registration and Accreditation Scheme. With over 40 years of history and experience, APC sets and maintains the standards of pharmacy education to ensure that pharmacists who practise in Australia, deliver safe and effective health care.

APC are innovative, cooperative, creative and courageous in our thinking and foster an environment that supports life-long learning, emerging technologies and best practice.

We need the best people. People who genuinely care for the work they do and the positive impact they can make. People who can develop a deep understanding of their challenges to co-create innovative solutions that help shape the future.

About the role

Join the APC Assessment Team and play a pivotal role in shaping the future of pharmacy in Australia. This is a part time (0.6 FTE) fixed term appointment for 12 months.

As an Assessment Pharmacist, you will contribute to developing high-quality assessments that support the registration of pharmacists and help ensure the profession continues to meet the needs of our Australian communities. Working as part of a collaborative Assessment team, you will apply your clinical expertise to develop, review and validate assessment content that reflects contemporary pharmacy practice and accurately assesses the knowledge, skills and professional judgement required for protected and effective practice.

If you’re looking for an opportunity to apply your practice experience in a new and rewarding way,



this role offers the chance to make a meaningful impact while staying connected to patient care.

The APC recognises the value of diversity and inclusion, and we encourage people of all abilities, gender identities, and cultural backgrounds to apply, particularly people of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander heritage, and those who may experience diversity or disability related barriers in securing employment.

Who should apply

We're looking for an experienced pharmacist with substantial community pharmacy experience and a good understanding of contemporary pharmacy practice. You'll enjoy applying your clinical expertise in new ways, have a passion for quality and continuous improvement, and be motivated to contribute to the future of the pharmacy profession.

We particularly value pharmacists who remain actively engaged in direct patient-facing practice and are committed to maintaining that connection while working with APC. Your ongoing clinical experience helps ensure the assessments we develop remain authentic, contemporary and reflective of real-world pharmacy practice.

Your experience may come primarily from community pharmacy or also include other areas of practice, such as hospital, credentialed medication management services or other patient-facing settings. We're looking for experienced practising pharmacists who bring current patient care experience, sound professional judgement, critical thinking skills and attention to detail.

While experience in assessment or education is beneficial, it is not essential. We'll provide the necessary training and help you develop your skills in assessment.
