| 4.1.1 | Addition: Statement about when applications will be considered after they have been received. |
| 4.1.3 | Addition: Notification required if the registered business name has been changed (it is important for licensees to notify the Authority of the current registered business name of any pharmacy business as this name appears on the public register). |
| 4.3.8 | Deletion: Display and sale of codeine following the recent scheduling change. |
| 4.3.13 | Clarification about facilities for immunisation (further clarification provided on requirements for pharmacies providing immunisation services). |
