Hello there!
We would love to introduce you to The Queensland Pharmacy Students’ Association (QPSA), one of the oldest and largest student pharmacy associations in Australia. We are a not-for-profit student association run by pharmacy students for pharmacy students here at the University of Queensland. Since our establishment in 1948, we have endeavoured to offer our members numerous opportunities to enhance their university experience, including a range of educational, social, charity, and sporting events.
QPSA is situated at the University of Queensland’s Pharmacy School at the $100 million precinct, the Pharmacy Australia Centre of Excellence (PACE) in Brisbane, Queensland. This venue gives students the opportunity to experience learning in our beautiful auditorium, dispensing rooms, mock pharmacies, and laboratories. Even better, PACE features our beloved Pacemaker café, and of course it is the home of QPSA.

Now in our 75th active year, we have a report card worth bragging about! In 2022, we grew our membership to its largest yet, with over 450 members across our undergraduate and masters students. We held regular education sessions, numerous networking opportunities, and celebrated with an ever-expanding social calendar. Some of our highlights included the Scrub Crawl, La Roche Posay Skincare Evening, Fundraising Bake Sales, Bevvies and Bowls Launch Party, Direct Chemist Outlet Over the Counter Education Evening, and of course the Infinity and Beyond Pharmacy Ball.
None of what we achieved in 2022 could have been done without the continuous support from our sponsors. I would like to thank the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia, The Pharmacy Guild of Australia Queensland Branch, Pharmaceutical Defence Limited, Chemist Warehouse, and Star Pharmacy Group.
Now, our sights are on 2023 and our team is already working tirelessly to bring you QPSA’s best year yet! We are looking forward to meeting you all in 2023, and enjoying another wonderful year.
Sincerely,
Jessica Heald
QPSA President 2023
