The ethos that has imbued the Community and Pharmacy Support Group (CAPS) is "United We Stand, Together We Thrive", in the continued advocacy for Pharmacists. 

My experience with CAPS will help me with regulatory advocacy to shape pharmacy regulations and policies. Regulations should be fair and transparent, supporting the viability of community pharmacies while ensuring patient safety and quality of care.

I will champion community engagement initiatives to highlight our profession, dispel ticket-clipper misconceptions, and rebuild social capital. 

I acknowledge healthcare disparities in country towns and advocate for patient-centred pharmacy policies prioritising patient access to medications and services. 

I believe in building coalitions with other healthcare stakeholders to amplify our advocacy efforts. We can leverage this to ensure patient interests are always the priority and that we are involved in that care. 

We need ongoing grassroots mobilisation due to various essential reasons. 

I will fight for pharmacist ownership rules that safeguard the highest standards of patient care and professional integrity.

I support advocacy efforts to barriers that limit pharmacists' ability to use their skills and expertise to their full potential.

Together, we can innovate, motivate and, most importantly, activate.
