Gourt Home::Gourt :: List of pharmacies
This is a list of major pharmacies (also known as chemists and drugstores).
Australia
Pharmacies in Australia are mostly independently-owned by pharmacists, often operated as franchises of retail brands offered by the three major pharmaceutical wholesalers in Australia — Australian Pharmaceutical Industries (API), Sigma Company, and Symbion Health. A minority of pharmacies are owned by friendly societies, particularly in Victoria and South Australia.

- Unichem
- Life Pharmacy (see Beauty Direct)
- Care Chemist
- Dispensary First
- Pharmacy Direct (primarily an online operation)

The majority of the above pharmacies are franchises. However, recent legislation has opened pharmacy ownership in New Zealand to individuals and companies other than pharmacists. New foreign groups are beginning to enter the market. The most established new group is Radius Pharmacy, part of the Radius Health Group. However, in order to retain 'professionalism', pharmacists must still own a fraction of the store. Indepandant pharmacies are also common in New Zealand. New Zealand has active pharmacy guild and pharmaceutical society membership.
