This week, we were delighted to partner with the Pharmacy Guild of Australia - NSW Branch to deliver the joint Albury-Wodonga Guild Member Reception.

The event was a great opportunity to share cross-jurisdictional knowledge and updates with pharmacists from the Albury-Wodonga region – especially as both states continue to take steps towards implementing pharmacists’ full scope of practice.

Enabling pharmacists to provide the same services - not just in Victoria and NSW, but nationwide - will provide patients with universal access to health services, no matter which side of the border they live on.

A big thank you to all the dedicated community pharmacists who joined us and continue to provide accessible, patient-centred care to local communities every day.

When it comes to wound care, timely advice matters.

Pharmacists can offer timely first aid, dressing advice, and referrals, helping to prevent minor wounds from becoming chronic. This relieves pressure on GPs, reduces hospitalisations, and improves health outcomes – particularly in rural or resource-limited settings.
