To the Honourable the Speaker and Members of the House of Representatives

This petition of certain citizens of Australia draws to the attention of the House that the Glen Gala, Sunshine West, Ardeer, Derrimut and The Avenue Estate communities have more than reasonable access to the supply of Pharmaceutical Benefits and are therefore not in any need of an additional pharmacy to service the needs of their communities. The existing pharmacies provide reasonable, adequate and timely access to the medication needs of the community.

We therefore ask the House to: take all necessary steps to ensure that 1) the current Australian Community Pharmacy Authority (ACPA) Pharmacy Location Rules are maintained and 2) the current Australian Community Pharm­acy Authority (ACPA) Pharmacy Location Rules are applied to all applications for approval to supply pharmaceutical benefits.
