A person must apply for registration as a pharmacy student prior to undertaking supervised training in the State of Victoria as part of a course in pharmacy practice.  This applies to students undertaking pharmacy courses in Victoria or other jurisdictions.

An "Application for Registration as a Pharmacy Student" must be lodged in accordance with the procedures outlined on the form and approved by the Board.  There is no fee payable for student registration.  The Board may refuse to grant student registration or apply conditions to student registration in accordance with section 8 of the Act.  Preceptors and premises must be approved by the Board before a registered pharmacy student commences clinical training.  Registered pharmacy students and preceptors should consult with pharmacy course providers to ensure that such placements have been approved by the Board.

Students enrolled in non-Victorian pharmacy courses are required to submit a 'Consent to Disclosure' form with their application for student registration.
