Places are limited and priority will be given to pharmacists and pharmacy support staff who reside in regional and rural locations of NSW.
Attendees must be at least 18 years old to register for any of the training courses.
The Mental Health Community Pharmacy Programme (Mental Health CPP) is funded by the NSW Government and complimentary for all pharmacists and pharmacy support staff.
Cancellation & Refund Policy – Delegates who register for the training must complete all pre and post-requirements of the training within the designated timeframe from registration.
