Recognising World Pharmacists Day

On World Pharmacists Day, we celebrated the pharmacists across our Australian and New Zealand facilities who ensure the safety, quality and reliability of every product we prepare. Their expertise and dedication support our hospital partners and their patients every day.

Hand-delivering life-saving treatment to Launceston

When timing was critical for an urgent treatment at Launceston General Hospital, our Mount Waverley team acted quickly to prepare and hand-deliver the product from Melbourne - ensuring the patient received the treatment without delay.

Celebrating our technicians and assistants

On World Technicians & Assistants Day, we recognised the skilled technicians and assistants working across our five compounding facilities. Their precision, care and behind-the-scenes commitment play an essential role in delivering safe, high-quality treatments.

Strengthening global connections with Pharmaxo

We recently welcomed colleagues from Pharmaxo and Bath ASU as part of our ongoing collaboration across Icon Group’s compounding network. Their visit included time at our Geebung and Mount Kuring-gai facilities, meetings with hospital partners and shared discussions on future opportunities to advance compounding services across Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
