“Let’s do a next” 🥹💌

Today we opened a little message from the past… or maybe a message to our future selves 💭💜🤔

Back in November 2025, Pharmacist A1 took a short break to Korea 🇰🇷 and discovered a café that offered “slow mail” 📮 🐌. You write a postcard to be delivered at a later date. How cute is that?! 🥹

Fast forward to today… that postcard arrived. 💌

It was read aloud by A2 to the team. And yes, there were tears 😭💜 (mostly from A1, lol).

Tears of relief, joy, and excitement for what’s ahead 😲.

Here’s what A1 wrote to the team:

Dearest team,

WE MADE IT! 🥳

18 months of hard work, planning, setbacks… and all the little wins along the way. We’ve officially moved into our new forever home 🏡💊

Success does not happen by chance - it happens because of exceptional contributions from an exceptional team 💜

I am so grateful for each and every one of you. Not just for growing our business, but for the incredible care you provide to our community and our town, every single day 🌾💊🐑

It is a humbling honour to serve in the way we do.

And as the postcard says… “Let’s do a next.”
Our story doesn’t end with our relocation - our journey is only just beginning.

Pharmacist Alex (A1) 👨🏻‍⚕️ 💊

We’re feeling all the feelings today 🥹💜
Onwards. Upwards. Let’s do a next. 💊👏

😲 👏 Tomorrow is our very first day trading from the NEW Ouyen Pharmacy (46 Oke St opposite police station ) 💊

After 24 months of planning, dreaming 💭 , stress and countless long nights 😅… seeing it all come together is surreal 🥰🫣

🙏 A huge THANK YOU to:

✅ Ian our incredible builder and project manager from Dynamic Mallee Designs

✅ Our entire pharmacy team who have hard at it behind the scenes for weeks/months

✅ Special shoutout to A2, Ang, Ben, Brendan and Danielle, who powered through the last few long, chaotic days, giving up their weekend, to get us over the line. 💪😅

✅ And the biggest thank you going my mum and dad (Gina and Burt). For flying ✈️ in from Brisbane to help out on the ground… 🙏 but more importantly, for always believing in their son, backing him, and encouraging him to chase big dreams 🥹💜🥰.

Not only is our new space beautiful, and practical. But it expands our capacity to offer critical health services for our rural community 🐑 🌾.

We welcome our very first patients tomorrow!

We can’t WAIT for you to step inside, explore the new space, and experience our new pharmacy in person 🏥💊💜

📍 See you tomorrow, Ouyen

No rest for the wicked 😅😅😅🫣🫣😵🙇‍♂️🙇‍♀️📚📚🤓

Last night Pharmacists Alex (A1 and A2) backed up a long way in the shop(s) and moving 🚛, with late night study 📚😅.

Our pharmacists A1 and A2 have been selected to join the very first cohort of the Monash University Graduate Certificate in Pharmacist Prescribing 🙌 🤓

With extra study 📚 and advanced clinical training 👩‍⚕️👨🏻‍⚕️underway, we’re on track to have 100% of our pharmacist workforce trained in prescribing by September 😲👏💊

📚 Today’s workshop focus? Contraception.

What this means for our community 👇

➡️ Expanded skills
➡️ Improved access to care
➡️ Less pressure on local clinics

Right now, we already offer a contraception continuation service! 💊

If you’ve run out of a script or can’t get in to see a GP or nurse practitioner in time, come and chat with us - we may be able to help 💊💜

📢 P.S shout out to Ouyen Mallee Root Festival . Their T-shirt merch is 👌👌👌👌👌😉 🤣 So comfy, good quality and versatile for (almost) any occasion. 😉

Handsomely modeled on A2. 💁‍♂️💅

It has been hot work today 🔥 🥵

As an essential health service, we are open our standard hours all week for your health needs 💜.

A heads up, we are looking a bit bare in the retail floor area 🫣. We are in the middle of moving😅.

We are offering our full prescription service until midday this Saturday 31st Jan💊. We have most of the essentials for retail products still on shelf. If you need something we don’t have on shelf, we will order for you… but please be patient with us.

Thank you for your understanding as we navigate this complex logistical task of thousands of products. 😬😬😬😬

❌ Our LAST day in the current shop will be this Saturday 31st.
✅ Our FIRST day in the new shop (46 Oke St opposite police 👮 station) will be Monday 2nd Feb.

📸
To keep cool today, The Taste Lab Ouyen - Street Kitchen & Eatery brewed up some deliciously frozen 🥶 slushies for the team, and all our tradies on site today 🥵🤝🙌😎.

To me (A1), Australia Day is a celebration 🙌 of:

🇦🇺 Opportunity
🇦🇺 Fairness and equality
🇦🇺 Diversity

I was born in Brisbane, but my family migrated from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹 in the Caribbean in the 1980s.

They gave up everything they knew to move to Australia…our new home.

Australia is a place of freedom🥹. A place where you can choose WHO you are and HOW you want to contribute.

From a young age, I knew I wanted to make an impact. For me, that has meant working hard, giving back 🤝, and advocating 📢 for better access to healthcare in rural Australia - including right here in Ouyen. 🌾💊

However you choose to spend today, I hope it’s meaningful to you.

Happy Australia Day. 🇦🇺☺️

💜 Healthcare with HEART.
❌ Closed today Australia Day 26th Jan
✅ Reopening from tomorrow Tuesday 27th January at 9AM.

💊 It’s a FAMILY AFFAIR at Ouyen Pharmacy! 💊😉

Seen a few new faces around town lately? 👀

😲 We have TWO mother and son combos
currently in store! 👏

👨🏻‍⚕️ Pharmacist Alex A1 + his mum Gina (visiting all the way from Brisbane ✈️🌴)

👩‍⚕️ Pharmacist Alex A2 + her son (freshly arrived from California, USA 🇺🇸🌴➡️🌾)

It is incredibly having family close by to support the journey as we move shops… and let’s be honest; we’ll take all the help we can get right now!!! 😅💪

Welcome Ben and Gina 👏 🙏!

💜 Healthcare with HEART
👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 Powered by family

🛍️ Stocking the NEW shop = dangerous (for our wallets 😅)

It’s so exciting filling the shelves in our new pharmacy! 🤩 We’re bringing in lots of new products and ranges …while of course keeping all your favourites. 💜

Some of the team have already mentioned, “Uh oh… we’re going to go broke working here…😅” after spotting all the cool new things they want to try themselves 😂

Today we had Marcela from Aero Healthcare AU
in-store, helping us merchandise our NEW and EXPANDED first aid and wound care stations.

✅ We’ve recently switched to Aero when supplying local sports clubs and school first aid kits due to the excellent quality, and the colour coding makes it much easier for anyone to grab the right product quickly; especially in stressful moments. 😬

📸 Pharmacist A2 checking out the new range with Aero Rep Marcella… Our new pharmacy will have 3 minor surgical grade consultation rooms 😲 👏 We’re brainstorming 🧠 ways we can provide more services to our rural community 💜

👏💊Please give a BIG warm welcome to our newest team member Intern Pharmacist Ang! 👩‍⚕️

We’ve been joking that she can officially be A3 😉😄

As an intern pharmacist, Ang has already completed a 4 year-long university degree 🎓📚 She is now undertaking her final year of supervised practice 👩‍⚕️🩺 - including exams 📝 and assignments 📖 - right here in Ouyen 🌾💜

We’re incredibly proud to be a teaching pharmacy 🤓💊, supporting the next generation of pharmacists while strengthening healthcare access in our rural community 🤝🌱

We’re also very fortunate to have THREE full-time pharmacists 👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️👩‍⚕️… something quite rare for a small rural pharmacy 🤯🌾💊

It’s a true reflection of our commitment to unparalleled care 💜, improved access 🚪, and making sure our rural community always has expert advice and clinical services close to home 🩺💬

Welcome to the team, Ang! 💜🎉👏

PS we had to deck her out with her very own set of embroider scrubs. Thanks to Marian Riley for getting them done on a tight schedule ! 🙏

There is something curious occurring at the new pharmacy construction site 👀!

There appears to be a generous 😉 scattering of reading glasses ALL throughout the ENTIRE building… 🤓🤓🤓

🤔 WHO IS LOOSING SO MANY PAIRS OF GLASSES ??!? 🤯

👉 Barry the electrician 🔋?
👉 Ian the builder 🔨?
👉 Todd the plumber🪠?
👉 Or is our new pharmacy already so clinical it **requires** corrective lenses? 😅

Either way, progress is happening and we’re getting closer every day. Thanks team 🙏!

We will be trading in our new premises by Monday 2nd February. 👏 When we move in, if we find any stray glasses we will be sure to keep return then to their rightful owner 🤣

We’ve got some news that’ll make you smile like A2 😁

We proudly support the Federal Government’s decision to reduce the co-payment on General PBS-subsidised prescriptions. 👏

💊 What does this mean for you?

The maximum price you’ll pay anywhere in Australia for a PBS-subsidised prescription is now just $25.

This change makes healthcare more accessible and more affordable 💜

🤝💊 A neighbourly visit (so to speak)…

Recently we had a familiar face drop in.
Pharmacist John, proprietor of Murrayville (VIC) , Pinnaroo & Lameroo Pharmacies (SA), dropped in to say hello, wish us a Happy New Year, and catch up with A1 & A2. 💊 👩‍⚕️ 👨🏻‍⚕️

This is exactly why we value strong relationships with fellow pharmacists across our region - both community and hospital 🏥 based. Rural pharmacy is a team sport!

Not long ago, John reached out needing urgent medication for one of his patients 💊 - stock that’s currently unavailable all across Australia. By pure chance, we happened to have a box on hand that was unlikely to be used by our community.

Living rural means logistics aren’t always easy… 😓 but collaboration makes all the difference. 💜 With the help of local courier 🚚 Joseph Shaddock, the medication travelled 110km down the line the very same day to where it was needed most. 👏 😲

This is rural healthcare at its best…people working together, sharing resources, and approaching problems with a patient-first mentality. 🫶

👍 Ouyen Pharmacy returns to our regular training hours from tomorrow Friday 2nd January 2026. ✅

🤗 Bring on 2026, and a new year of exciting collaborations and partnerships for the benefit of our rural community 💜.
