In this episode, Sarah answers a common question about when a pharmacy buyer will receive their PBS approval certificate after settlement. She also outlines how the certificate is sent and also what you need to provide to suppliers if there is an urgency to open supplier accounts before the certificate arrives. Sarah also touches on the process in QLD where there is currently no public register of pharmacies or state based pharmacy licences.
