For many years, the Guild Pharmacy of the Year Awards have encouraged, recognised and celebrated excellence in the industry. Now, as the meaning and scope of Australian community pharmacy continue to evolve, the Awards are changing too.

Introducing the New Guild Community Pharmacy Awards: Celebrating Excellence Across Australia

The new Awards will shine a wider spotlight on Australia’s best and brightest with three award categories:

  • Community Pharmacy of the Year
  • Community Pharmacist of the Year (New)
  • Student Pharmacist of the Year (New)

Each award will be presented on a state-by-state basis, meaning every State and Territory will name their own winners. From these, one National winner for each award will be selected and announced at the APP Conference, 12-14 March 2026.

This refreshed structure aims to strengthen engagement, elevate local innovation, and enhance inclusivity while continuing to celebrate the achievements of community pharmacy professionals across the country.

Nominations are open now, head to Find a Pharmacy and find out about how you can get involved today. Stay tuned for more updates!
