You will receive cheaper social event tickets, deals for first aid courses, as well as discounts from businesses around Dunedin.
NZAPS-O members are also eligible to apply for Student Exchange Programmes, as well as pharmacy conferences overseas, such as the IPSF congress (International Pharmaceutical Student Federation), APPS (Asia-Pacific Pharmaceutical Symposium) and the NAPSA conference (National Australian Pharmacy Students Association) .
Membership fees are decided each year.
Membership Discount Cards
Finding Sponsors and student deals is not easy. it’s more than just receiving discounts and money from large or local businesses, it is a mutual relationship developed between our student association and these companies, in order to bridge the gap between our members, and the wider community out there. So on behalf of our student association, we would like to thank our sponsors, for their continuous support this year, and our local businesses who continue to support our student community, on a day to day basis.
