PSA is the major provider of continuing professional development programmes for pharmacists in Australia. PSA also organises various pharmacy events including the Pharmacy Australia Congress (PAC) and CPExpo. PSA publishes the Australian Pharmaceutical Formulary, the ''Australian Pharmacist'' journal, and various other pharmacy publications. Members of PSA are entitled to use the postnominal ''MPS'', while Fellows of the Society are entitled to use ''FPS''. ==Structure and history== PSA was formed in 1977 and is made up of state pharmaceutical societies, several of which were in existence before Federation. The Western Australian branch is the only one which retains a regulatory role, similar to the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain, whereas the other branches are incorporated societies. PSA has moved to a unified national structure giving it a national decision-making body with the power to make binding decisions on branches.
