Enabling community pharmacy to serve the needs and preferences of patients and health consumers across Australia.
关于我们
The Pharmacy Guild of Australia is the national peak body representing community pharmacy. It seeks to serve the interests of its members and to support community pharmacy in its role delivering quality health outcomes for all Australians. The Guild was established in 1928, bringing together several small retail pharmacy organisations then operating in the various States. The Guild is registered under the federal Fair Work Act (Registered Organisations) Act 2009 as an employers' organisation. The Guild is committed to supporting and maintaining the community pharmacy model as the most appropriate and efficient system of delivering medicines, medication management and related services to the Australian public. The 6000 community pharmacies across Australia dispense around 250 million prescriptions annually. The vast majority of the prescriptions dispensed under the Federal Government’s subsidised Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) are available at the same price for all Australians wherever they live. This is a triumph of equity and access, which the Guild works hard to maintain. A major Guild activity at all levels is close liaison and negotiation with governments, manufacturers, wholesalers and other organisations in or around the health care delivery system.

This International Women’s Day, we’re joining the call to #AccelerateAction by recognising the role of women in pharmacy and advocating for greater equity in healthcare access. Women now make up 64% of Australia’s pharmacist workforce, with many benefiting from the career flexibility pharmacy offers. Encouragingly, the gender pay gap in pharmacy is below the national average, with women earning more per hour in key pharmacy leadership roles. However, financial barriers continue to affect women’s access to medicines. Research shows women are twice as likely as men to struggle with prescription costs, with 27% unable to afford their medications in the past three years. Difficulty accessing GPs is also a major concern, driving more women to emergency departments for care. Community pharmacists see these challenges firsthand and play a key role in supporting women’s healthcare needs. This International Women’s Day, let’s get behind the call to #AccelerateAction on women's health. #IWD2025
