Ageing Australia strongly supports the development of the Standards, noting they will be part of AdPha’s Standards & Guidelines series, which is widely utilised and referenced by pharmacists and health professionals seeking guidance on the delivery of pharmacy services.

We believe the Standards represent a significant advancement in defining contemporary geriatric medicine pharmacy practice and recognising the complexity of medicines management for older people. Our submission aims to strengthen clarity, applicability, and alignment with broader health, aged care, and regulatory frameworks.
