The Pharmacy Guild of Australia acknowledges the significant impact and achievements of former Senator Ron Boswell AO whose decades of service made a lasting impact on rural and regional communities across Australia.
Senator Boswell was a tireless advocate for small business and regional primary industries throughout his parliamentary career. His commitment to ensuring Australians—particularly those in rural and remote areas—had access to essential services, like medicines, reflected values that the Guild holds dear.
The Guild appreciates Senator Boswell's longstanding support for community pharmacy and his efforts to protect the integrity of small business in Australia. He was a steadfast advocate for small business and access to high quality regional healthcare.
His belief that only pharmacists should own a community pharmacy stands the test of time. It remains the best model for Australian community pharmacies, leading to increased access and affordability - his deep commitment was to fairness and equity.
On behalf of the Pharmacy Guild of Australia, we extend our sincere condolences to the Boswell family, friends, and colleagues.
