Released in 2023, Transformation 2024, provides a bridge from the former strategic plan to the new, through foundational investment in digital platforms leading to the launch of Communities, recognition through the founding of the Australian and New Zealand College of Advanced Pharmacy (ANZCAP), and the addition of a Technician Board Director position, supported by an 86% ‘yes’ vote by members in May 2024.
