Workforce Capability Project

The Guild's Workforce Capability Reports are intended to provide community pharmacy specific information about workforce capability, and drivers of industry change and improvement. This information is critical for effective business planning, advocacy, and to ensure community pharmacy can attract and retain the right people, with the right skills to meet the healthcare needs of the community now and into the future.

The reports include insights gained from research and consultation with member and non-member pharmacy owners, government and industry across a range of topics crucial to community pharmacy's success.

Remuneration and supply and demand reports are released annually. The remaining reports are reviewed annually and updated if required to reflect relevant changes within the industry.

This report draws on data from Westpac and The Pharmacy Guild of Australia to identify some of the key changes in consumer behaviour over the past three years.

The report shows how the pandemic has impacted consumer spending habits in community pharmacies. And, with the help of experts, it explores which consumer behaviours are likely to continue into the future.
