Pharmaceutical Services

The Pharmaceutical Services Section (PSS) of the Health Protection Service (HPS) ensures the safe supply of medicines, poisons and therapeutic goods to the ACT community.

We are responsible for conducting various regulatory activities that help ensure medicines or poisons are prescribed, stored and supplied in line with local legislation. This includes responsibly regulating community pharmacy ownership and premises in the ACT.

We also distribute information about medicines and therapeutic goods recalls across the ACT community to ensure their protection from any harm associated with the use of sub-standard or unsafe products.

• pharmacist immunisers
