1 - Approval Process
Many Pharmacy owners will underestimate not only the process, but the time it takes for submission & approvals for their fit out.
Governing bodies such as the Australia Community Pharmacy Authority & Pharmacy Registration Board of Western Australia will require you to go through the application and approval process for change of premises or alterations to your store. Applications need to be submitted in advance of the scheduled meeting dates (which can be found on their relevant websites). Missing a meeting can result in delays to your project of 4-8 weeks.
