Applicant Manual

This portal is intended exclusively for Pharmacy students and graduates applying for pharmacist internships within the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Health.

You may apply if you:

• Hold a Bachelor of Pharmacy (B Pharm) degree, and
• Are registered — or eligible to register — with the South African Pharmacy Council (SAPC) as a Pharmacist Intern.

Application deadline: 08 November 2027. Late submissions cannot be accepted.

Click Create Applicant Account on the home page and complete the registration form. You will need:

• Your full name and surname as they appear on your ID
• A valid email address (used to log in)
• A 10-digit mobile number
• Your home province and district
• Your high school and school district
• A password: at least 6 characters with one uppercase, one lowercase, and one number
• A security question and its answer — used to reset your password if you forget it

After signing in, click Step 1 — Application Form on your dashboard. Complete every required field:

Personal information:

• Country of residence
• SA ID number (13 digits — only if you are a South African citizen)
• Passport number (only if you are not a South African citizen)
• Gender, race, and preferred work area

Bursary information:

• Whether you are a bursary holder
• If yes, the bursary provider

Academic information:

• University (select Other University if yours is not listed)
• Year of degree completion

Facility preferences: select up to 5 hospital choices. These are preferences — they do not guarantee placement.

The Z83 form collects background information. Answer every question truthfully — false declarations may result in disqualification even after placement.

You will be asked about:

• Availability and notice period
• Disability status
• Date of birth
• Mobile number
• Criminal convictions and pending cases
• Dismissal or resignation from the Public Service

Combine all your documents into a single PDF or a single ZIP file. The combined file must not exceed 2 MB.

Your file must contain certified copies of:

• Proof of residence
• Academic record
• Bursary proof (if applicable)
• South African ID or Passport, plus work permit if applicable

If you forget your password, click I forgot my password on the login page. You will be asked to:
