  • Sustainability in action – BioChill implementation   At Symbion, we’re proud to be taking meaningful steps toward reducing our environmental footprint. In locations where refrigerated containers aren’t feasible, we’ve partnered with industry innovator BioChill to introduce a new self-contained cold chain delivery solution, replacing traditional polystyrene shippers for transporting temperature-sensitive medicines.   We’ve now expanded the use of BioChill recyclable liners throughout the regional areas of South Australia and Northern Territory, with remote regional areas in Western Australia coming on board in the coming weeks.   The results speak for themselves: BioChill has proven exceptional across long-distance regional routes — from Adelaide to remote South Australian townships and Darwin to Gove, over 1,000 km away. This highlights the reliability and sustainability of BioChill in maintaining cold-chain integrity across some of Australia’s most challenging environments.   What’s Next? We’re expanding BioChill across additional NT regional customers, monitoring route performance through the wet season, and capturing customer feedback to strengthen future sustainability reporting.

    World Pharmacists Day   Whether it’s dispensing prescriptions, administering vaccines, offering trusted health advice, sponsoring local organisations, or just having a good chat with customers – it’s fair to say pharmacists are a pretty remarkable bunch.   On World Pharmacists Day, Symbion extends our heartfelt thanks to the thousands of pharmacists across Australia for their tireless dedication.   The value of pharmacists in meeting the fast-changing needs of modern healthcare cannot be overstated — and Symbion is proud to support them in delivering better health outcomes for all Australians.   #WorldPharmacistsDay #WPD2025 #thinkpharmacyfirst
