Pharmacies
Pharmacies in Australia are an outlet where people can find treatments and medicines for their ailments in addition to general well-being advice and products. The majority of Australian pharmacies are independently-owned by pharmacists and are often operated as franchises of retail brands of the three major pharmaceutical wholesalers in Australia. That is, Australian Pharmaceutical Industries (API), Sigma Company, and Symbion Health.
