Membership

Access confidential advice and representation from our trusted workplace relations experts. From interpreting Awards and entitlements to guidance on contracts, leave, and staffing issues, the Guild’s team is here to help you get it right.

Guild members receive complimentary membership to the Australasian College of Pharmacy — the home of continuing professional development and pharmacy education. Hone your skills with accredited, flexible, and innovative courses designed for community pharmacy. You’ll also benefit from exclusive member webinars and workshops delivered by clinical experts to keep you up to date with emerging services and changing practice.

Join over 7,000 peers with exclusive discounts to Australia’s largest gathering of pharmacy professionals, the Australian Pharmacy Professional (APP) Conference. Whether you’re in the running for Guild Pharmacy of the Year, connecting with your local branch, or building your network, APP, Pharmacy Connect, and the Pharmacy WA Forum keep you connected to a community of like-minded professionals.

This complimentary, confidential EAP service is available to you, your pharmacy staff, and their immediate family members. It provides professional face-to-face counselling, therapy services, and a library of digital resources to help manage stress, workplace pressures, and personal challenges.

As a member, your insights help shape the Guild’s advocacy. We work closely with Commonwealth and state governments to keep community pharmacy front and centre in Australia’s evolving healthcare system — safeguarding your professional and business interests for the benefit of patients.

From securing a lower PBS general co-payment to defending ownership rules that keep pharmacy local, the Guild’s advocacy protects access to affordable, pharmacist-led care in every community.

We advocate for the policies and reforms you need to continue delivering high-quality care. This includes pushing for nationally harmonised scope of practice, securing affordable medicine access, advancing eHealth initiatives, and driving policy change that keeps pharmacy at the heart of primary healthcare.

Your membership includes complimentary access to Australasian Pharmacy magazine (print and digital) plus exclusive research and reports — including the Guild Digest, Pharmacy Rental Report, Buying and Selling Guide and Workforce Capability Report — to help your business stay informed, competitive, and ahead of the curve.

Whatever your goals, the Guild is here to back you. Through your local branch, you can access tailored advice, practical support from experts who understand your state’s requirements, and personal guidance for the day-to-day challenges of running a pharmacy. You’ll also benefit from exclusive tools — including the 8CPA Remuneration Calculator — and member-only savings through Gold Cross Endorsed Partners to help manage risk, reduce costs, and grow your business.

Stay informed with breaking news, urgent updates, and expert analysis through Guild Alerts, exclusive member webinars, and briefings — delivered directly to you, when you need them.

Australia’s trusted pharmacy locator connects patients directly to your pharmacy. As a member, you can manage your listing to showcase your services, hours, booking links, and more — helping more patients find and choose your pharmacy.

This opt-in program allows the Guild to secure corporate clients for in-pharmacy vaccination services on your behalf — creating new revenue opportunities and bringing more patients into your pharmacy, with no additional training required.
