Non REQR (Recognised Equivalent Qualifications Route) Applications

NOTE: Applicants should be aware, before starting the registration process, that employment opportunities for pharmacists in New Zealand are currently very limited, particularly in the main centres. You may experience some difficulty in finding a pharmacy in which to do your internship.

This route is for pharmacists applying for registration in New Zealand who qualified, and are currently registered in, countries other than Australia, Canada, Ireland, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom and United States of America.

Applicants from countries other than those listed above will find information on the process for registration in this booklet.

For information on suggested reading lists, sample questions and information on the KAPS examination, please see the Australian Pharmacy Council website.
