Thursday 21 March 2024 is Thank Your Pharmacist Day

Thank Your Pharmacist Day is celebrated annually in March, bringing together patients, community leaders and stakeholders from across the health sector to acknowledge the vital work of our pharmacists.

Support for your local pharmacists is more important than ever. That's why this year’s Thank Your Pharmacist Day theme is More than ever, highlighting pharmacists’ growing role in Australia’s health care system.

The pharmacy profession is doing more to support the health and wellbeing of Australia than ever before. We are accessible in our communities, offering more services, delivering more vaccinations, and making critical medicines more accessible to all.

Peak Pharmacies pharmacists can now provide access to oral contraceptives and treatments for uncomplicated UTIs for eligible patients, as well as being able to provide more care for minor skin conditions.

We are providing more medication management solutions, and supporting the care of our patients in general practice, ACCHOs and aged care facilities. We are coordinating the care of our patients when discharged from hospitals, working with doctors, nurses, and allied health professionals.

Each of these roles and the countless other specialist areas of practice are critical to the future of our health care systems.

Every single pharmacist deserves Australia’s thanks now more than ever. 

So today we Thank all of our Peak Pharmacies Pharmacists for the fantastic job they do. Thank you - Alex, Tim, Hanna, Cindy, Shelley, Michael, Khalid, Raynu, Andrew, Akira, Ross, Francesca, Zane, Greg and Harry.
