In recent months, several pharmacy graduates from cities such as Pune, Haryana, and Gujarat have reported challenges during their skills assessment process for OPRA Exam with the Australian Pharmacy Council (APC). For many candidates applying for Australia, an unexpected rejection at this stage can feel discouraging and confusing.
The skills assessment process is detailed and documentation-heavy. Even small discrepancies in curriculum structure, internship hours, subject mapping, or university documentation can lead to delays or negative outcomes. In many cases, the issue is not about capability, it is about how academic qualifications are presented and aligned with APC requirements.
This is where the right guidance makes a difference.
A strong application requires proper subject mapping, structured documentation, verified internship evidence, and a clear understanding of APC competency standards. Without strategic preparation, even eligible candidates may face setbacks.
If your application has been rejected, or if you are planning to apply, early intervention is crucial. Reviewing transcripts thoroughly, addressing competency gaps, and submitting a well-prepared reassessment can significantly improve outcomes.
Australia remains an achievable destination for qualified pharmacists. The pathway may require precision, but it is absolutely possible with the right support.
