Your Community Pharmacy is an independent, family-owned pharmacy at Shop 3, 1 Kalinya St, Newport.

Our Newport pharmacy history, from 1959
In the decades since it opened, the work has widened from dispensing and counter advice to vaccinations, health checks and dose packs for people on several medicines. Pharmacist immunisers now vaccinate in a private consultation area, and checks such as blood glucose screening sit alongside the dispensary. Scripts have changed too, from paper alone to electronic tokens sent by SMS or email, and the dispensary handles both.
What has not changed is the ownership. The pharmacy is not part of a chain, so decisions about services, prices and stock are made in Newport. That is why free blood pressure checks, free local delivery and price matching are part of the everyday offer rather than a head office promotion.
A QSPP accredited pharmacy in Newport
Your Community Pharmacy is accredited under the Quality and Safety Pharmacy Program (QSPP), the national accreditation program for community pharmacies. QSPP replaced the Quality Care Pharmacy Program (QCPP) on 1 October 2026, and the pharmacy was accredited under QCPP before that. Under QSPP, pharmacies are assessed against the Australian Community Pharmacy Standard, which covers areas including clinical governance, patient safety, workforce capability, consumer engagement and risk management. For customers, QSPP accreditation means the pharmacy is checked against a national standard for quality and safety.
