Australia for Pharmacists
The Pharmacy Board of Australia (via AHPRA) registers pharmacists. Most overseas pharmacists now sit the OPRA exam with the Australian Pharmacy Council, then complete supervised practice and an intern written / oral assessment pathway. CAOP remains relevant for some transitional or jurisdiction-specific routes — confirm your stream with APC and AHPRA before you apply.
