World Pharmacist Day 2025
World Pharmacists Day is a global celebration that recognises the important role of pharmacists in meeting healthcare needs across the world. This year, the Pharmacy Guild of Australia is highlighting how community pharmacists are delivering expanded services to meet the evolving needs of Australian patients.
In all 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. In WA, the first courses will begin in 2026 with a small cohort which will grow exponentially as more resources become available to train new and older Pharmacists to meet the ongoing needs of patients.
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.
On World Pharmacists Day, we want to thank all our pharmacists and let them know they are appreciated. If you would like to thank Jane or Suzana or Kathryn or Michelle or Raj or Marc, please pop into the Pharmacy and let them know just how much their care and empathy and expertise have helped you and your health.
