The Australasian Pharmaceutical Science Association (APSA) is a professional society for individuals with an interest in the pharmaceutical sciences. The Association strives to promote and advance the study and application of the pharmaceutical sciences and to facilitate the exchange of information and experiences between pharmaceutical scientists in Australasia.

Membership is drawn from the Pharmacy Schools of Australia and New Zealand, the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, and associated government departments. Regular annual conferences and short courses provide a forum for presentation of research and development applications from all branches of the pharmaceutical sciences.

The Association has seen considerable growth in its membership over the past several years. The two most recent annual conferences attracted in excess of 300 delegates from academia, industry, government and professional societies and hosted a number of internationally recognised speakers. This year's conference promises to be no exception to this trend.
