Our Community

Community Care Chemist has been serving the local community for over 125 years. That’s an incredible achievement and legacy!

What’s a not-for-profit pharmacy?

We’re proud to be a much-loved local icon in the Greater Geelong region.

Unlike other pharmacies which are owned and operated by pharmacists (or a partnership of pharmacists and large corporations), we’re one of the few pharmacies in Australia that adopt the ‘friendly society’ model.

We are a mutual, not-for-profit company that serves our members and customers. Our business structure requires that surplus funds or profits be reinvested back into our organisation and community, and that our members contribute to a common fund; via our $1 for life membership fee.

By becoming a member, and with your ongoing support, you ensure that we can contribute to support the communities in which we operate.

We are proud to be Geelong’s local, not-for-profit pharmacy. We give back to our community through active partnerships and donations with organisations focused on health, wellbeing and supporting the vulnerable members of our community.
