Findlay & Weymouth Amcal Pharmacy | Sold & Settled by Chris Swifte of AP Group! 🎉

Behind every pharmacy sale is a story, and for Findlay & Weymouth Amcal Pharmacy, it is one of community, commitment and the legacy built by its owner, Nic Balfour.

For Nic, this was about far more than selling a business. It meant handing over something that had come to matter a great deal to the local community, and stepping away from pharmacy ownership to begin the next chapter of his life. Decisions like that are never taken lightly, especially when an owner has poured so much of themselves into their pharmacy, their team and the people they serve.

It was a privilege to be trusted with that responsibility, and to help make sure the business Nic worked so hard to build was passed into the right hands.

Congratulations, Nic, on a great result all round, and thank you for placing your trust in Chris throughout the process. We wish you every success and happiness in whatever comes next.

There is a conversation our NSW State Manager Jack Brown has several times a year. A pharmacist who has been looking for a long time, has made offers on multiple businesses, and has missed out every time. They want to know what they are doing wrong.

Jack shares what he sees the buyers who get the deal doing, often weeks before a listing even goes live.

Kangaroo Valley Pharmacy, NSW | Sold & Settled by Jack Brown of AP Group! 🎉

Tucked away in one of the most beautiful pockets of New South Wales, Kangaroo Valley Pharmacy has found its next custodian.

We are thrilled to welcome Gregory Emmanuel into ownership, and it would be hard to imagine a better fit. Greg already calls the valley home, so he knows the community, the lifestyle and the people who walk through the door. As a first-time buyer stepping into a pharmacy right on his doorstep, he brings the kind of local connection that money simply cannot buy.

Behind every handover is a vendor ready for their next chapter, and our thanks go to Barry Hashemi for entrusting Jack Brown and the AP Group team with the process from start to finish.

Congratulations Greg. You have taken on something special, and the valley is in good hands.

The 2026 pharmacy reforms were financial and industrial changes. But in a pharmacy sale, they quietly become legal ones.

The 8CPA Addendum and the July wage increases change what your historical numbers actually represent, and that flows straight into disclosure, warranties and who carries the risk if something turns out to be wrong.

Stella Samuel, Solicitor at AP Legal, explains what vendors should be reviewing now, well before a purchaser's due diligence request arrives.

Kings Park Pharmacy, Perth | Sold & Settled by Chris Swifte of AP Group! 🎉

Since 2010, Andrew Twaddle and Rebecca Sarsero have built something genuinely respected, working hand in hand with hospitals and allied health practitioners across Perth to deliver medication alongside specialised compounding products and services.

Andrew and Rebecca placed their trust in the Chris to find the right buyer, and it has been a real pleasure working alongside them from start to finish.

That right buyer came in the form of Scott McGregor and Rebecca Godfrey, who now take the reins. There is a strong foundation here to build on, and we have no doubt they will carry it forward well.

Congratulations to all four, and sincere thanks to Andrew and Rebecca for entrusting us with the sale.
