About Us

PDL is the oldest and largest national pharmaceutical organization in Australia.

While the various State Pharmaceutical Societies were formed earlier, it was soon realised that there was a need for specialised professional indemnity insurance for the pharmacy profession and so PDL was formed and now has a membership of around 13,500.

The insurance regulations in Australia are now quite stringent and in order to satisfy these regulations PDL has entered into an Authorisation and Trademark License Agreement with Guild Insurance.  PDL is now defined as being a Corporate Authorised Representative of Guild Insurance, with strict guidelines for our role in providing peer support in times of need.

95% of the Pharmacists of Australia choose PDL.  Our history of being able to settle most claims promptly and discreetly avoiding publicity is an obvious factor, but the $20 million cover at a remarkably low premium must be an obvious attraction.
