PSA Congratulates WA’s CHO Dr Robertson on his retirement 

5 November 2025 

 

The Pharmaceutical Society of Australia (PSA) wishes to congratulate Western Australia’s Chief Health Officer (CHO), Dr Andrew (Andy) Robertson CSC, PSM, on the announcement of his retirement today.  

 

Dr Robertson’s 22 years with WA Health highlight his unwavering dedication and commitment to serving and protecting the West Australian community. 

 

PSA’s Mayli Foong MPS, WA State Manager, commended Dr Robertson for his contribution to public health and the wellbeing of the community: 

 

“During Dr Robertson’s tenure, pharmacist practice in Western Australia has grown in leaps and bounds, particularly in the areas of vaccination and a range of pharmacist prescribing initiatives. 

 

“PSA has been proud to partner with Dr Robertson and his WA Health team on many pharmacist practice issues and initiatives over the years. While we have been privileged to work with him behind the scenes for many years, it was during the COVID-19 pandemic that pharmacists and the community became most familiar with his work and dedication. 

 

“Western Australia’s health response to the pandemic was the envy of many, and I thank Dr Robertson for his dedication and hard work, which kept Western Australians safe. 

 

“On behalf of all Western Australian pharmacists, I wish Dr Robertson all the best for his retirement.” 

 

The PSA looks forward to a continued partnership with Dr Robertson’s successor from February 2026.
