On World Pharmacists Day, we thank every community pharmacist for stepping up to support Australians’ health and wellbeing. From city centres to regional towns and remote communities, pharmacists are there for patients every day—trusted, accessible, and ready to help.
World Pharmacists Day is a global celebration that recognises the important role of pharmacists in meeting healthcare needs across the world. This year, the Guild is highlighting how community pharmacists delivering expanded services to meet the evolving needs of Australian patients.
In other states and territories, momentum is building as governments partner with universities and the Australasian College of Pharmacy (ACP) to expand training opportunities and pilot new services. Pharmacists all over the country are preparing to deliver more care for their communities.
Patients trust their pharmacists to provide advice, support medicines management, and deliver more accessible care. As that trust continues to grow, so too does the ability of pharmacists to provide more of the healthcare patients need—faster, more affordable, and close to home.

Celebrating pharmacists on World Pharmacists Day, 25 September 2025
This year’s World Pharmacists Day is the perfect opportunity to celebrate the essential role pharmacists play in our health system. On 25 September, let’s thank community pharmacists across Australia for their service and commitment to patient care.
The 2025 theme is “Think health, think pharmacy first.” It highlights how pharmacists are stepping up to deliver more healthcare than ever before—helping Australians access care faster, closer to home, and at an affordable cost.
Across every state and territory, pharmacists are now treating a wider range of everyday health conditions and providing services that make healthcare more convenient and accessible. From women’s health to chronic condition management, pharmacists are transforming how patients access care.
This 25 September, join the celebrations. Visit your local community pharmacy, thank your pharmacist, and share your support on social media using #WPD2025 and #thinkpharmacyfirst.
