This portal provides the ability for pharmacy business owners and representatives to submit online notifications to Queensland Health for a change in ownership of a pharmacy business or a change in pharmacy business particulars.
Pharmacy business ownership in Queensland is regulated under the Pharmacy Business Ownership Act 2001 (the Act). The object of the Act is to promote the professional, safe and competent provision of pharmacy services and to maintain public confidence in the pharmacy profession.
The Pharmacy Business Ownership Act 2024 (PBO Act) is commencing in full on 1 November 2025. The PBO Act establishes the Queensland Pharmacy Business Ownership Council as a new statutory body responsible for regulating pharmacy business ownership. The PBO Act also introduces a new annual licensing scheme for pharmacy business ownership.
To find out more about the PBO Act, the Queensland Pharmacy Business Ownership Council and how to apply for a licence go to the Council's website.
