AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY

ISSUED BY AUTHORITY OF THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR HEALTH

PHARMACY REGULATIONS (AMENDMENT)

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

No. 21 of 1982

The Minister for Health has made regulations under the Pharmacy Ordinance 1931.

The regulations repeal regulation 6 which is no longer required because of an amendment to the Ordinance.  The same amendment to the Ordinance introduced the requirement that a number of new fees be prescribed by regulation.  The regulations therefore repeal regulation 5 which previously prescribed a fee for the issue of a certificate of registration of $2.10 and the issue of a temporary permit without fee and substitute a new table of fees which amongst other things increases the fee of $2.10 and introduces a fee for temporary registration which has replaced the system of temporary permits.

The new fees are as follows:

Paragraph 24(d)	fee for registration as a pharmacist	$30	
			
Sub-section 25(6)	fee for the issue of a duplicate certificate of registration	$10	
			
Sub-section 26(1)	annual registration fee payable on or before 31 October each year	$20	
			
Sub-section 28(3)	fee for alteration of the Register at the request of a person	$ 5	
			
Sub-section 29(1)	fee for provisional registration which may be granted pending full registration	$ 5	
			
Sub-section 30(1)	Fee for temporary registration as a locum tenens	$20	
			
Sub-section 30(2)	fee for renewal of temporary registration	$20	
			
Sub-section 31(2)	fee for special registration for research or educational purposes	$50	
			
Sub-section 31(3)	fee for renewal of special registration	$50
