The Quality Care Pharmacy Program: Our Commitment to Excellence
What our exemplary QCPP accreditation means for your health, safety, and everyday care.
In the ever-evolving landscape of community healthcare, clinical excellence is not a destination you simply arrive at—it is a standard you must relentlessly maintain. At the heart of this pursuit in Australia is the Quality Care Pharmacy Program (QCPP), a rigorous quality management system designed to guarantee that pharmacies deliver the highest possible standards of safety, professional services, and customer care.
While a vast majority of Australian pharmacies choose to undertake this accreditation to improve health outcomes, maintaining it requires unwavering dedication from every single staff member. Moss Vale Community Pharmacy has been proudly QCPP accredited for many years. Following our most recent two-year evaluation process, we were awarded an exemplary rating in late 2025—a testament to our enduring commitment to the Southern Highlands community.
What Exactly is QCPP?
The Quality Care Pharmacy Program operates as the definitive business framework for our pharmacy. It provides the robust structural tools necessary to minimize any potential risks associated with medical products and services. In practical terms, it means that every procedure—from how we store delicate temperature-sensitive vaccines to how we counsel you on a new medication—is governed by strict, evidence-based protocols.
By seamlessly integrating this framework into our daily operations, our team is empowered to focus not just on the transactional aspects of pharmacy, but on the strategic, innovative delivery of excellent healthcare to the public.
The Industry Standard for Excellence
You are in safe hands. Currently, 95% of Australian pharmacies choose to be QCPP accredited. The program acts as the gold standard for community pharmacy, dedicated to continuously raising the bar for the services provided to the public.
Why Our Accreditation Matters to You
Accreditation is far more than a certificate on our wall; it translates directly into better health outcomes for you and your family. In 2005, a comprehensive evaluation of the QCPP was conducted by the Australian College of Pharmacy Practice Management, Quality Medication Care Pty Ltd, and the Therapeutics Research Unit of the University of Queensland.
The results of this evaluation were striking. It demonstrated that QCPP Accredited Pharmacies consistently outperform non-accredited pharmacies in critical areas expected to improve patient health outcomes. Furthermore, accredited pharmacies display higher technical quality in their professional services, offer a wider range of clinical support, and employ these services more effectively within the store.
