Become the voice of pharmacist immunisers with the Vaccination Ambassador program
13 June 2025
Today the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia (PSA) launches its campaign to find the face of its first pharmacist Vaccination Ambassador program.
This new initiative will see the appointment of a passionate pharmacist as PSA Vaccination Ambassador, serving as the national voice of pharmacist immunisers and championing the profession’s role in vaccination through media, engagement and advocacy.
The Ambassador will receive training and ongoing support from PSA to represent the profession in public forums, advocate for expanded pharmacist vaccination scope, and promote vaccine uptake among Australians.
PSA National President Associate Professor Fei Sim FPS called on passionate pharmacist immunisers to step forward for an opportunity to have a national impact.
“More Australians are accessing vaccinations through their local community pharmacist than ever before, but there is always more we can do to drive the national conversation on immunisation,” Associate Professor Sim said.
“We can’t wait to help someone share their passion and drive for immunisation, to inspire and be an ambassador for our profession.”
In addition to PSA support, the successful applicant will receive media training, speaking opportunities, and support to attend PSA25 through the program.
“We’re excited to be working with GSK and Pfizer to empower our Vaccination Ambassador with specialised media training and national speaking engagements – all part of advocating for the profession at the highest levels.
“If you’re an advocate for the profession and committed to improving public health outcomes through accessible, evidence-based care, I encourage you to put yourself forward to be our inaugural PSA Vaccination Ambassador,” Associate Professor Sim concluded.
Applications for the PSA Vaccination Ambassador program are open now and will close on 30 June 2025. Interested pharmacists are invited to submit their video applications via the
