What is ANZCAP?

A joint initiative of Advanced Pharmacy Australia (AdPha) and the New Zealand Hospital Pharmacy Association (NZHPA), ANZCAP is a leap forward for Australian and New Zealand health care, many years in the making.

Designed to elevate professional visibility, ANZCAP recognition clearly communicates your capabilities to employers, peers, and the broader healthcare community—strengthening your standing and unlocking career potential.

Beyond recognition, ANZCAP is with you for what’s next, providing structure to guide career planning, while annual benefits ensure you are connected, supported and inspired every step of the way.

Whether you’re just starting out or making your next move, ANZCAP helps you work smarter — not harder — as you grow in your profession.

Recognition and specialities

ANZCAP recognition confers the use of professional post-nominals, through recognition portfolios at Pharmacist Resident (ANZCAP-Res.), Pharmacist Registrar (ANZCAP-Reg.) and Pharmacist Consultant (FANZCAP) level mapped to one or two of 46 areas of specialty pharmacy practice.

Upon recognition and after annual recognition renewal, ANZCAP provides downloadable assets to showcase your achievements through certificate, post-nominals, email signature and social media tiles which can be shared with colleagues or used in CVs, professional profiles and for job applications.

ANZCAP credentials showcase your commitment to pharmacy excellence, prove your skills are nationally transferable, and opens new doors for career advancement.

Pathways to recognition

ANZCAP provides structured pathways toward recognition and new opportunities no matter where you work.

The building blocks of ANZCAP are Learning Experiences (LXs), bite-sized activities that are either completed alone, with a collaborator or via an endorsed third party, to record evidence of your professional practice.

The Independent Pathway is available to Australian pharmacists across all practice settings to accumulate Learning Experiences (LXs) into a personal recognition portfolio, meeting requirements mapped to the National Competency Framework for Pharmacists in Australia (2016). The Independent Pathway is available to New Zealand registered pharmacists, alongside recognition for Pharmacy Technicians.
