It will come as no surprise to patients of Pharmacy 777 across Australia that one of their pharmacists has just been named ‘Outstanding Community Pharmacist’ in the 2025 Patient’s Australia Awards.
 

Three 777 Pharmacists were nominated for the award, which is patient nominated and speaks to the experience that Pharmacy 777 patients and customers have when they visit their local.
The awards celebrate passionate patient advocates and Pharmacist Sara Murdock of Pharmacy 777 Pascoe Vale in Victoria has been named the Outstanding Community Pharmacist for 2025.
It’s a coveted national award, which Sara feels honoured to have been bestowed.
Her colleagues Stefan Vrankovic from Albion Park Pharmacy 777 in NSW and Pharmacy 777 Nollamara Pharmacist Jerome Ghattas in WA were also nominated for the prestigious award this year.

“To be recognised on a national level for the work we do in community health, alongside some of the most dedicated professionals in Australia, is something I’ll never take for granted,” Sara says.

“This moment represents not just my journey, but every patient, every colleague, every late night and early morning, every home visit and every child who’s grown up watching their mum lead with purpose and compassion.

“Let’s keep raising the bar for what community healthcare can be.”
Pharmacy 777 Managing Director Kim Brotherson said he was incredibly proud of the group and its three nominees.
“Their commitment to empathy, advocacy, and patient-centred excellence has not only impacted the lives of those they care for but also continues to inspire their colleagues and the broader healthcare community,” Kim says.
“Our dedicated Pharmacists being recognised at a national level is a testament to the passion, integrity, and innovation they all bring to their work every day.
“Congratulations to Sara, and to Stefan and Jerome, this nomination is a powerful acknowledgment of your contribution to advancing better health outcomes and putting patients first.
“We’re incredibly proud to have you all recognised on a national scale.”
