• Description

  • Insurances

  • Journey Insurance
    Journey Insurance policy provides cover for members who suffer injuries while travelling to and from work.
  • Professional Indemnity Insurance plus support
    As an employee pharmacist, you know that a legal claim could be a big setback for your career. Underwritten by one of Australia’s biggest insurers, CGU, membership with Professional Pharmacists Australia includes Professional Indemnity Insurance that meets AHPRA requirements for employee pharmacists.

    What is covered?

    Members are covered for the full scope of practice you are registered and qualified to perform as an employee pharmacist under AHPRA standards – including activities such as medicine checks, and immunisations.

    Our policy includes an extension for Health Professionals working overseas. For example, this means that if you go to the United Kingdom on a working holiday you can keep up your PPA membership and retain the benefit of our Professional Indemnity Insurance.

    The policy will not cover dishonest criminal acts or known circumstances of existing claims against members.
