Our story
Independent Pharmacies Australia was formed in 2022 when three independent pharmacy groups came together with a shared belief, that local pharmacists play an essential role in the health of their communities.
Advantage Pharmacy Group, Pharmacy Catalyst and Pharmacy Alliance were each built around the same idea: empowering independent pharmacy owners to serve their communities in the way those communities need them most.
