The VPA publishes a regular newsletter on its activities and this is distributed by email to licensees, registered premises and VPA stakeholders. The VPA newsletter has important information, updates and resources to support licensees to engage in good regulatory practice and maintain high standards in pharmacy practice.

Newsletter No. 3 - 23 July 2026

Thank you to all licensees who have already renewed their licences and premises registrations via the new VPA Portal.
We are now in the final week of the ‘late period’ for annual renewals. We remind you that late lodgement fees have been waived for renewals this year to support licensees to transition to the new VPA portal. However, all licences and premises registration renewals must be completed by 28 July, and I urge any licensees to renew at the earliest opportunity if you haven’t already.
David McConville
Chair, Victorian Pharmacy Authority
