Intern Incentive Allowance for Rural Pharmacies - Extension Program

The Intern Incentive Allowance for Rural Pharmacies – Extension Program (IIARP-EP) is a new Allowance established under the Fifth Community Pharmacy Agreement. This new Allowance complements the existing Intern Incentive Allowance for Rural Pharmacies (formerly the Rural Pharmacist Pre-Registration Incentive Allowance). It will support the rural pharmacy workforce by enabling community pharmacies in rural areas to retain a newly registered pharmacist beyond the initial intern period. The Allowance will provide funding of $20,000 (GST Exclusive) to community pharmacies for a continuous12 month period. There will be a maximum of 10 Allowances available each year. 

This Allowance will commence in early 2012. More information will be available on this page shortly.

This Project is funded by the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing as part of the Fifth Community Pharmacy Agreement.
