History:
JCUPSA was founded in 2000 to coincide with the inception of the Bachelor of Pharmacy program at James Cook University in Townsville. Since then JCUPSA has produced numerous Queensland Pharmacy Students of the Year, an Australian Pharmacy Student of the year and of course a NAPSA President. From humble beginnings JCUPSA is now a force to be reckoned with. Representing over 85% off enrolled pharmacy students, JCUPSA now has member numbers exceeding 250 students.

The JCUPSA committee is made up of a vast variety of wonderful positions. The fearless leader of course being the mighty JCUPSA President, as a support to the President, there is the executive committee and of course supporting chairs and representatives, liasing with both NAPSA and the wider community.
