Stakeholders
QSPP accreditation strengthens confidence in pharmacy services by setting nationally recognised standards for quality, safety and governance
Approximately 95% of Australian community pharmacies are accredited under the national pharmacy accreditation program (QCPP), reflecting strong sector-wide commitment to quality and safety.
The program is independently certified by the Joint Accreditation System of Australia and New Zealand (JASANZ), providing external assurance of its integrity and oversight.
The program supports safe, consistent and accountable pharmacy services across Australia and contributes to confidence in primary healthcare delivery.
This page provides information for policymakers, health professionals, regulators, industry partners and others who engage with community pharmacy.
