Professional Board Disciplinary Hearings

Guild Lawyers has a dedicated Pharmacy Law team which provides representation to pharmacists in Pharmacy Board, Health Department, Health Care Complaints Commission and Medicare investigations.

Our lawyers are highly regarded for their experience and our team includes Australia's leading lawyers in this area of practice. The interests of pharmacists have been represented in a number of Australia's leading professional misconduct cases and our team has also represented the interests of the profession in the generic substitution case which culminated in legislative reform allowing brand substitution and in a number of alleged Medicare fraud proceedings.

Recently the Pharmacy Boards throughout Australia have been pursuing disciplinary action against pharmacists relevant to the supply of pseudoephidrine based products and in relation to perceived failures to comply with Schedule 8 requirements, including those in relation to updating drug registers and processing S8 prescriptions in accordance with the Regulations. Guild Lawyers has acted, and continues to act, for pharmacists involved in matters of this nature.

The experience of the Guild Lawyers Pharmacy team in this area is unparalleled within the profession.
