Ms JODIE HARRISON (Charlestown—Minister for Women, Minister for Seniors, and Minister for the Prevention of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault)—13 March was Thank Your Pharmacist Day, and I want to take this opportunity to thank the pharmacists and pharmacy workers who provide their services to the Charlestown electorate. For many people with health conditions, pharmacists can be the first port of call when seeking support. From supporting patients with medicine use all the way through to lifesaving interventions, pharmacists are stepping up to meet the growing demands of our healthcare system. I am pleased to see pharmacists in the Charlestown electorate and beyond engaging with Minns Labor Government-introduced and‑supported programs to provide certain kinds of healthcare, from treating urinary tract infections to helping make oral contraceptive treatment more accessible. This is making all the difference in so many lives, and pharmacists across my electorate are expanding their services in order to help improve the health and wellbeing of Charlestown locals. Our pharmacists should be thanked every day, but it was my pleasure to drop by Williams Discount Chemist in Charlestown to say thank you personally.

A Community Recognition Notice is an opportunity for an MP to submit a short statement praising the work of an individual or group in the local community. If you have any ideas about people I can recognise with a Community Recognition Notice, please email and let me know!
