PSA26: PSA awards 2026 cohort of Fellows and Life Fellows

31 July 2026

 

The Pharmaceutical Society of Australia (PSA) has tonight recognised a distinguished cohort of pharmacists as PSA Fellows and Life Fellows at this evening’s annual Fellows Dinner.

 

PSA Fellowship is one of the highest honours for PSA members. Members may be nominated for elevation to Fellowship after serving PSA for an extended period and who have, by working in the pharmacy profession:  

• achieved a significant advancement in the practice of pharmacy or pharmaceutical sciences; or 

• provided an outstanding contribution to the pharmacy profession through leadership; or  

• significantly contributed to raising professional standards and providing models for other pharmacists. 

 

Speaking at the dinner, PSA National President, Professor Mark Naunton MPS, acknowledged the recipient’s contributions and ongoing commitments to PSA and the broader pharmacy profession.

 

“Being recognised as a Fellow of the Pharmaceutical Society reflects sustained and outstanding contributions to not only the profession, but the communities you serve,” Professor Naunton said.

 

“To our newly elevated Fellows and Life Fellows, our profession is better for your exceptional leadership and dedication to shaping the future of pharmacy.

 

“I’d like to congratulate tonight’s newly elevated Fellows on this well-deserved recognition and thank them all for their longstanding commitments to PSA, the profession, and their patients.”
