The public register provides access to the following information:

• the name of each licensee of a pharmacy business or pharmacy department
• the number of pharmacies owned by a person
• the registration status of the premises of a pharmacy business, pharmacy department or pharmacy depot
• any conditions on a licence or registration

The register may be searched by premises (business name or address) or owner.

Notes regarding licence and registration status:

• A licence or registration ends on 30 June and must be renewed annually. If a licence or registration appears on the register with an end date that has passed, it may be because a renewal application is still being finalised or during a late lodgement period. However, in such cases the licence or registration remains in force.
• A licence or premises registration on the public register may be ‘Active’ or ‘Inactive’. An ‘Inactive’ licence means the VPA has been notified that the licensee no longer owns or carries on the pharmacy business. Inactive licences do not count to the number of pharmacies owned by a person. If a premises registration is ‘Inactive’, this means the VPA has been notified that the pharmacy or pharmacy department is permanently closed.

Warning: The public register is the only way to verify current licence or registration status. Certificates should never be used to confirm licence or premises registration information.
