Resources
Curated by pharmacists, for pharmacists—our resources are built to drive change and promote inclusive, affirming care across the pharmacy profession.
We believe in the power of collective knowledge. If you know of any additional resources that could benefit our community, please get in touch at queerpharmacistsofaustralia@gmail.com.
