We are Australian and family-owned and proud of it.
As an Australian-born and built success story, we are proud of our heritage and remain a 100% Australian family-owned and operated business.
From modest beginnings in an old warehouse on the northern beaches of Sydney, our PharmaCare founder began selling $1.99 bottles of shampoo to local pharmacies. PharmaCare has grown into one of Australia’s biggest health and wellness companies. We are proudly market leaders in the VMS, Skincare, OTC, Personal Care and Health Foods industries.
This tenacious attitude continues to permeate the PharmaCare culture, enabling us to grow and operate in over 40 countries, and thousands of pharmacies, supermarkets, department and variety stores all over Australia, Asia, America and Europe.
Today, we are still driven by the same foundational principles of Family, Health and Business. While our products are in high demand worldwide, our heart is Australian, our quality is Australian, and our spirit of honesty, hard work and entrepreneurialism is Australian.
