The evening culminated in the presentation of the Lady Cilento Lifetime Achievement Award, recognising an individual who has made a sustained and significant contribution to the complementary medicines industry.
This year’s recipient, Toby Browne, was honoured for more than four decades of leadership, entrepreneurship and innovation as the Founder and Chairman of PharmaCare Laboratories. Toby’s vision has helped shape key categories within the industry — from pioneering Australia’s first TGA-approved gummy manufacturing facility, to launching market-first products and growing iconic brands such as Nature’s Way, Bioglan and Sambucol. As PharmaCare celebrates its 40th anniversary, this award recognises Toby’s lasting impact on the sector, his support for Australian manufacturing and his long-standing community contributions.
