One week until Pharmacy Connect 2026 arrives in Sydney
2 SEPTEMBER 2026
NSW Opposition Leader to join national pharmacy leaders as sector prepares for three days of education, innovation and connection.
In just one week’s time, thousands of pharmacy professionals from across Australia will gather in Sydney for Pharmacy Connect 2026, one of the nation’s premier pharmacy industry conferences and trade exhibitions.
Taking place from 9 September to 11 September at the Hyatt Regency Sydney, Pharmacy Connect 2026 will bring together pharmacists, pharmacy assistants, owners, managers, students and industry suppliers for three days of education, networking and business insights designed to support the future of community pharmacy.
Adding to an already strong line-up of speakers, organisers are pleased to announce that NSW Opposition Leader, Ms Kellie Sloane MP will join the program on Thursday morning, providing delegates with insights into the political landscape and the policy issues shaping health care delivery across New South Wales and beyond.
Hosted by The Pharmacy Guild of Australia, Pharmacy Connect 2026 features more than 70 expert speakers covering a broad range of topics including clinical practice, business management, workforce challenges, health care innovation, emerging technologies and patient care.
“The countdown is officially on and we’re looking forward to welcoming pharmacy professionals from across the country to Sydney next week,” said Mario Barone, Branch President of The Pharmacy Guild of Australia, NSW Branch.
“For NSW pharmacists in particular the timing of the conference is key, as there are major changes to NSW health regulations of which many pharmacists may not be aware.”
“For pharmacists across Australia, the transition from QCPP to the new Quality Standards for Pharmacy Programs (QSPP) represents a significant change for the profession – Pharmacy Connect provides the ideal opportunity to get up to speed, with an education session and a trade stand dedicated to help pharmacists understand the new requirements and prepare for implementation.”
“Pharmacy Connect provides an important opportunity for the profession to come together, learn from leading experts, explore the latest products and services, and discuss the issues and opportunities shaping the future of community pharmacy.”
The conference exhibition will showcase products, services and innovations from 90 leading suppliers, giving attendees direct access to the latest developments in pharmacy practice and retail.
A highlight of the program will be discussions examining the economic, political and regulatory factors influencing the health care sector and small business environment, including the Thursday morning plenary session featuring both the NSW Premier and the NSW Opposition Leader.
With registration numbers tracking strongly, organisers encourage anyone yet to secure their place to register before the event begins.
