The I Love Rural Pharmacy Video Competition returns with the theme “Rural Pharmacy: Insight to Impact”, shining a spotlight on pharmacists and pharmacy teams in regional, rural, and remote Australia who are transforming ideas into action for their patients and communities.
At the same time, the Community Pharmacy Cultural Engagement Video Competition is back with a new theme “Full Scope: Shared Care”, highlighting the crucial role pharmacies play in delivering culturally safe, inclusive, and community-led care.
Pharmacy Guild National President Professor Trent Twomey said the competitions celebrated the expanding contribution of community pharmacies across Australia. “Whether it’s a rural pharmacy turning challenges into opportunities, or a team breaking down cultural barriers to deliver more inclusive care, these stories need to be told.
“Every day, pharmacists convert insight into impact—and these competitions give us a chance to celebrate that leadership, innovation, and community spirit.”
Both competitions invite pharmacists and their teams to submit short 1–2 minute videos showcasing how they are improving health outcomes—whether by overcoming rural workforce and access barriers, advancing culturally engaged practice, supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, strengthening connections with CALD communities, or promoting inclusion in all its forms.
Entries may be humorous, heartfelt, or completely outside the box. Judging will focus on originality, storytelling, and the ability to demonstrate meaningful change—successful or not-so-successful moments that reflect real-world pharmacy practice.
