The Pharmaceutical Society of Queensland (PSQ) has proudly represented pharmacists and advanced the profession in Queensland for many decades.
At this year’s AGM on Thursday, 27 November 2025, members are invited to consider a resolution to formally wind up PSQ — marking the completion of its journey under the Pharmaceutical Societies Transition Agreement with PSA Ltd.
PSQ’s legacy will live on through the PSA and PSA Foundation, which continues to support Queensland pharmacists through initiatives like the Hugh and Mary Darragh Trust Scholarship, to be announced in 2026.
We look forward to celebrating PSQ’s remarkable contribution at a Legacy Celebration Event in early 2026.

40+ projects, 30+ partnerships:
PSA’s projects make a bigger impact than ever before

The Pharmaceutical Society of Australia (PSA) released its 2025 Strategic Projects Impact Report today, showcasing PSA’s leadership in advancing pharmacist practice and promoting medicines safety nationally. The report highlights how PSA drives the safe use of medicines forward, through projects in palliative care, mental health, and va**ng reform that demonstrate collaborative, evidence-based initiatives.

In 2025, the PSA’s Projects team delivered more than 40 initiatives in collaboration with more than 30 partners, cementing PSA’s role as the national peak body driving the Quality Use of Medicines (QUM) agenda.
The PSA’s commitment to supporting pharmacists through change is demonstrated in the report with key education projects including:

The National Palliative Care Project (2023-2026): The PSA is committed to improving palliative care by building pharmacist capability, integrating pharmacist roles into interdisciplinary care teams, and ensuring patients and carers receive safe, compassionate, and person-centred support wherever they are. In May 2025, PSA launched its ASPIRE Palliative Care Foundation Training Program for pharmacists. Within six weeks, more than 1000 pharmacists were enrolled.

Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training: The PSA’s MHFA training aims to address the gaps in mental health literacy and confidence, aspiring to “Recognise, Respond, and Support”. In 2025, 654 pharmacists and pharmacy staff had completed PSA’s MHFA course.

Va**ng reform: The PSA rolled out a series of webinars and modules on navigating va**ng reform throughout 2025, as education is essential for the consistency and confidence of pharmacists. With over 1000 registrations for the first webinar, the highest in PSA’s history, more than 2500 pharmacists have participated in va**ng education and training.
