Your Voice for Community Pharmacy
Standing together to achieve a successful and viable future for your business
Established in 1928, the Pharmacy Guild of Australia is a membership-based organisation which has represented the owners of community pharmacy and promoted the value of community pharmacy in the Australian health care system for over 90 years.
Together we will be working to ensure your pharmacy remains viable and continues to serve the needs and preferences of patients and consumers. We have developed a vision, roadmap and member benefits aimed at helping you build your business to 2025 and beyond.
It is an exciting time to be a member of the Guild as we focus on our Community Pharmacy 2025 (CP2025) vision and develop initiatives with you aimed at adding value and ultimately growing your business today and into the future. Our member's viability is our number one priority.
