It started with a simple Zoom call in 2020 - a conversation between a newly registered pharmacist and a senior mentor. The younger professional, unsure of their path, shared how lost they felt in a rapidly evolving healthcare system. Fast forward to 2025, and that same pharmacist is now presenting at the Pharmacy Careers Summit, sharing their journey with over two thousand peers. This transformation didn't happen by accident. It happened because they found their community.
And that’s exactly what the Pharmacy Careers Summit 2025 (PCS25)aims to offer - connection, clarity, and career-defining conversations.
From Modest Beginnings to a National Movement
Since its inception, the Pharmacy Careers Summit has grown into Australia’s leading virtual pharmacy careers event. In 2024, it drew more than 1,900 attendees and was crowned “Best Summit” at the global Eventeer Awards. The 2025 edition, set for Friday 4 July, is gearing up to be even bigger - bringing together pharmacists, students, and industry leaders in an accessible, inclusive format.
With expectations to exceed 2,000 attendees, PCS25 is not just a summit; it’s a national movement redefining how Australian pharmacists navigate their careers.
Raven’s Recruitment: The Force Behind the Future
Orchestrating this landmark event is Raven’s Recruitment, an industry cornerstone committed to elevating pharmacy careers. For nearly 40 years, Raven’s has been a trusted ally for Australian pharmacists, and the Pharmacy Careers Summit is a bold extension of that mission.
This year, Raven’s deepened its commitment with a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the National Australian Pharmacy Students’ Association (NAPSA), ensuring first-year pharmacy students receive tailored support and early career guidance. This collaboration reflects Raven’s broader vision: a connected, informed, and future-ready pharmacy workforce.
