About us

For over 40 years our Pharmacists and team members have provided personalised care and advice for our communities across Australia, putting people first in everything we do. We’re passionate about providing everyday Australians with the highest level of care, through genuine relationships, personalised advice, and a wide range of health services and quality products at the best possible price. Blooms The Chemist's roots go back to the early 1980s when a group of passionate pharmacists had an ambitious vision to build a successful partnership network. The Blooms The Chemist network now boasts over 100 stores across New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, South Australia, Northern Territory and Western Australia. Blooms Management Services (also known as Blooms Support Office) provides centralised services to the Blooms The Chemist network, with the sole aim of partnering with pharmacy owners to grow their business in a sustainable and profitable manner, and create a meaningful difference in the communities where we operate and beyond. Blooms The Chemist is proud to be an official partner of Make-A-Wish Australia, raising over $1 million since 2016 to make vital wishes come true for children battling life-threatening illnesses. In 2020, we became a proud support of Gidget Foundation Australia, supporting the emotional wellbeing of expectant and new parents. And since 2019, through the provision of vital PPE in villages across southern Zambia, and the building of a maternity ward and mother’s shelter in the village of Simonga, our partnership with The Butterfly Tree charity has been changing lives in Africa. Today we stand strong in our belief in the power of people to change lives. We’re committed to a future where everyone everywhere has access to good health and wellbeing. This is what drives us. We’re here to help build that future. If this resonates with you, then join us. Together we can make a meaningful difference.

    Leading organisational growth and management at Gidget Foundation Australia.

    It was a privilege to deliver the keynote at the Blooms The Chemist Conference 2025 last week on the Gold Coast, representing Gidget Foundation Australia as the charity partner. Our partnership with Blooms has enabled us to extend vital support to thousands of families across the country — a testament to the power of purpose-driven collaboration. A heartfelt thank you to the entire Blooms team for your authentic commitment to perinatal mental health and wellbeing through community pharmacy. Your support is not only generous, but deeply impactful. It was a joy to connect with pharmacists from both rural and metropolitan stores — your passion for supporting new parents and your eagerness to create meaningful change in your communities is truly inspiring. Special thanks to Emmanuel Vavoulas, Pamela Siobháin Bishop, and all Blooms stores for your continued advocacy and support. We look forward to continue building on this important work together.

  • The Blooms The Chemist 2025 Partners’ Conference brought together our network of individual pharmacy owners to celebrate excellence and achievement across Values & Culture, Customer Service, Purpose, and Sustainability.    It was a pleasure to host best-selling author, Dr. Michelle McQuaid (MAPP), who facilitated a personal development session to help Pharmacist-owners identify and harness their individual purpose and strengths. Dr McQuaid emphasised the importance of personal leadership in running a successful pharmacy without compromising on purpose or performance.   Thank you to the Gidget Foundation Australia's Chief Operating Officer Rachael Javes, who spoke about the meaningful partnership between Blooms The Chemist and Gidget Foundation Australia. This long-running partnership has helped raise awareness about perinatal depression and anxiety, and the mental health support services offered by Gidget Foundation Australia.   #BloomsTheChemist #PharmacistLife #Conference #Community #Values #Purpose #Sustainability #Culture #Awards #Recognition #CommunityPharmacy

    Today, a pharmacy owner called just to say thank you, for helping their store while they were away and ensuring the community continued to be cared for. That simple gesture meant so much and reminded me why I chose this profession. Pharmacy has always been more than dispensing medicines, it’s about presence, empathy, and connection. Since stepping away from a full-time role and embracing life as a locum pharmacist, I’ve met incredible people and discovered the true heartbeat of our profession, especially in regional communities where healthcare really begins. What I’ve come to realise is that every pharmacist, whether full-time or locum, brings the same passion, dedication, and responsibility to their work. I hope to see a future where that commitment is equally recognised and supported across the profession. Because at the end of the day, our greatest reward is knowing we’ve made someone’s day a little better, a little healthier, and a little brighter. #Pharmacist #LocumPharmacist

    Special thanks to the Blooms stores for hiring me as a Locum To be part of Blooms is something I’ll always hold close. Even now as a locum, my bond with Blooms goes far beyond the surface — it lives quietly in my heart and soul. Among such genuine people, there’s a presence — calm yet unforgettable — that reminds me why some connections are felt more than spoken. Grateful for the moments, the smiles, and the gentle reminders that some bonds linger long after the day is done. 💙 Too many store teams to mention but I love them all 😁😁 #bloomsthechemist #locumpharmacist
