A proprietor membership provides PDA protection for the named pharmacist and all non pharmacist staff •  e.g. interns, technicians and shop assistants, at the pharmacy named on the application form and subsequent declaration forms. This membership also provides a $10million public liability protection for the pharmacy.

As a pharmacist is now able to own up to five pharmacies, that proprietor must ensure that the manager(s) at the other pharmacies they own also take out “proprietor/manager” membership. This is to ensure that all the pharmacies and their non-pharmacist staff have the full PDA membership protections.
