AACHO Pharmacist Atinuke Abraham elected as PSA Victoria President
30 May 2025
The Pharmaceutical Society of Australia (PSA) welcomes the election of Atinuke ‘Tinu’ Abraham FPS to lead its Victorian branch.
Atinuke (Tinu) Abraham is a Credentialed Pharmacist and Diabetes Educator with over 10 years’ experience at the Victorian Aboriginal Health Service. She is passionate about health equity, diversity, and the delivery of culturally safe care.
Originally from Nigeria, Ms Abraham studied at the University of Auckland and has worked across New Zealand and Australia in a range of practice settings, including hospitals, community pharmacies, Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHOs), and academia.
Passionate about supporting others to be the best pharmacists they can be, Ms Abraham currently serves on the Board of the Pharmacists Support Service (PSS) and as part of PSA’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Pharmacy Practice Community of Specialty Interest leadership group.
“I am deeply grateful to my colleagues for their confidence in me and for entrusting me with this important role. I have taken on this opportunity because I believe it is a privilege to represent the voices of everyday pharmacists and to advocate for our profession,” Ms Abraham said.
“I would also like to sincerely thank Dr Amy Page, the outgoing President, for her many years of dedicated service to the profession and to the PSA. Her leadership, particularly during the scope of practice review and in building capacity through mentoring has left a lasting and meaningful impact.”
Taren Gill FPS and Dr Kate Wang MPS have been elected as Branch Vice-Presidents, with Brooke Shelly FPS CredPharm (MMR) joining Dr Amanda Cross as Branch-appointed Board Directors.
“I look forward to working alongside my colleagues, the broader PSA, and fellow committee members, including Vice Presidents Taren Gill and Kate Wang, as we continue to advance the role, recognition, and impact of Australian pharmacists across all areas of practice,” Ms Abraham concluded.
