Queensland Pharmacy Business Ownership Council (2024)
The Opportunity
The Pharmacy Business Ownership Act 2024 (the Act) was passed by Parliament in March 2024 and is expected to commence by late 2025. The Act will establish the Queensland Pharmacy Business Ownership Council to regulate Pharmacy Business Ownership and implement a Pharmacy Business licencing scheme in Queensland.
The Minister for Health, Mental Health and Ambulance Services and Minister for Women invites suitably qualified persons from a wide range of professional backgrounds, including Pharmacy Business owners and employee pharmacists, to apply to be a member of the inaugural Queensland Pharmacy Business Ownership Council.

The council will employ staff to support the council’s regulatory activities and provide administrative and secretariat support.
