The Queensland University of Technology Student Pharmacy Association (QUTSPA) is a non-for-profit student association, based at Gardens Point Campus within Queensland University of Technology.
QUT Student Pharmacy Association, since its establishment in 2007, has strived to provide its students with informative educational sessions as well as social and sporting events. It is hope that through these events, QUTSPA can actively incorporate students into university life and provide career opportunities for future employment within the pharmacy industry.

- Provide networking opportunities between fellow pharmacy students on a state and national level and between pharmaceutical focused organisations.
- Promote pharmacy awareness within the community and on a tertiary education level.
- To promote the rights of a pharmacy student on experiential placements and within external pharmacy student employment.
- To provide vocational options for future employment to pharmacy students.
