time for spoiler.
Does the Accreditation Committee accredit any international pharmacy schools?
Not directly, however some Australian pharmacy schools have ‘twinning programs’ offshore but these courses are not recognized by Australian and New Zealand registering bodies for direct entry into Australian pre-registration programs. These graduates contemplating working in Australia are still required to use the Examining Committee process on completion of their course

5. What happens if I go to a school that is not accredited?
The pharmacy registering authorities in all states and territories resolved in 2006 that they will not recognize a qualification from an unaccredited pharmacy school.  You will not be registered to practice as a pharmacist.
APC (Australian Pharmacy Council) accredits pharmacy schools and programs intended to lead to registration as a pharmacist.

To qualify for registration as a pharmacist, a person must have completed the following:

• a pharmacy degree course recognised by the registering authority as a registrable qualification; and


• a period of pre-registration training and supervised practice.
google Competency Assessment of Overseas Pharmacists (CAOP) Examination etc if you are really interested.
