Negotiations for an eighth Community Pharmacy Agreement (8CPA) will soon commence. The 8CPA will support patient access to Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) subsidised medicines, programs, and related services through community pharmacies across Australia. Negotiations will commence as soon as a possible and conclude by 30 June 2024. The Pharmacy Guild of Australia and the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia will continue to be signatories to any new agreement. In addition, consultations for the 8CPA will include patient groups, medicines wholesalers and distributors, and others who have a stake in the growth and development of pharmacy services that benefit all Australians.
