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.
