The Pharmaceutical Society of New Zealand has produced this guide to provide a national remuneration reference. This identifies pharmacists’ existing and developing roles commensurate with required education,skills and responsibilities. The Guide reflects the range of salaries paid to pharmacists in differing roles in New Zealand.
It will help enable funders to appropriately recognise the value of the different and expanding roles, skill-sets and education of pharmacists in the integrated healthcare model. The bands identify the extended and complex roles of the New Zealand National Framework of Pharmacists’ Services and the Integrated Health Care Framework for Pharmacists and Doctors.
These salary bands are at 2017 levels, and it is expected these bands will change over time.
