Frequently asked questions
Can a pharmacist work for two shops?
No. A registered pharmacist must be present at the licensed premises during working hours, so one pharmacist cannot serve two licences simultaneously.
Is a trade licence needed for a drug licence?
Many municipalities require a trade or shop licence as well, though it is a separate registration.
What is the minimum area?
The rules prescribe minimum areas, commonly about 10 square metres for retail or wholesale and more for combined licences.
Is GST required for a drug licence?
GST is separate and depends on turnover, but most medical stores register.
