The Pharmaceutical Society of Western Australia (PSWA) was formed in 1892 and has served the community and the pharmacy profession continually since that time —

Legislation enacted in 1894 established the Council of the Society as a statutory body charged with management of the Society and administration of pharmacy and poisons legislation.  It fulfilled the poisons requirement until 1964, and administered pharmacy legislation until 2010. The Council was dissolved in 2010 however the Society continues to operate as an incorporated association and is managed by a Board elected by its members. The PSWA currently has over 2700 members and continues to support WA based pharmacists and empower the pharmacy profession to benefit the health of Western Australians.
