Our purpose
Leading pharmacy, enriching care. From hospitals to everywhere medicines are needed.
Our goal
Australia’s health outcomes are improved because medicines are safely stewarded for every person in Australia, regardless of their place, their care setting or their vulnerabilities.
Our people
Pharmacists, technicians and assistants caring for Australians in hospitals, homes and communities since 1941.
In 2024, the Society of Hospital Pharmacists of Australia began trading as Advanced Pharmacy Australia (AdPha).
Our values
- Progressive: We are progressive, innovative advocates for clinical excellence and quality medicines management
- Passionate: We are passionate, open and transparent, and build relationships based on respect, both within our team and with our stakeholders

Our strategic plan
Yindyamarra 2030 is Advanced Pharmacy Australia (AdPha)'s forward vision for pharmacy based in and around Australian hospitals, to support practitioners at every career stage and foster interdisciplinary excellence to improve team-based patient care.
Yindyamarra 2030 evolves through three two-year horizons toward a more inclusive and collaborative pharmacy community, building on 84 years of history to support a new generation through training, recognition, connection and community

Transformation 2024
Released in 2023, Transformation 2024, provided a bridge from the former strategic plan to the new, through foundational investment in digital platforms leading to the launch of Communities, recognition through the founding of the Australian and New Zealand College of Advanced Pharmacy (ANZCAP), and the addition of a Technician Board Director position, supported by an 86% ‘yes’ vote by members in May 2024.
Transformation 2024 includes a timeline showing our history of representation and progress, informing and informed by advances in Australia pharmacy.
