STRUCTURE AND HISTORY

PSA was formed in 1977 and is a federation of the six state pharmaceutical societies, several of which were in existence before Federation . The Western Australian branch is the only one which retains a regulatory role, similar to the Royal Pharmaceutical Society Of Great Britain , whereas the other branches are incorporated societies.

PSA is currently moving towards a unified national structure, formerly known as the ''Towards One Pharmaceutical Society'' (TOPS) initiative. During 2005 , the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia Transitional Authority (PSATA) was formed as a national decision-making body with the power to make binding decisions on branches.

The six state societies are:
  • Pharmaceutical Society of Australia New South Wales branch

  • Pharmaceutical Society of Australia Queensland branch

  • Pharmaceutical Society of Australia South Australian branch

  • Pharmaceutical Society of Australia Tasmanian branch

  • Pharmaceutical Society of Australia Victorian branch

  • Pharmaceutical Society of Western Australia
