Australia[edit]
Pharmacies in Australia are mostly independently owned by pharmacists, often
operated as franchises of retail brands offered by the three major pharmaceutical
wholesalers in Australia: Australian Pharmaceutical Industries (API) and Sigma
Pharmaceuticals. A minority of pharmacies are owned by friendly societies,
particularly in Victoria and South Australia.

Denmark[edit]
In Denmark, all pharmacies are owned by the Association of Danish Pharmacies and
controlled by the state. There are two pharmaceutically trained groups with a higher
education in the Danish pharmacies: pharmaconomists (Danish: farmakonomer)
and pharmacists (farmaceuter). There are also pharmacy technicians (defektricer)
who have a vocational training and unskilled laborers/workers (servicemedarbejdere)
who perform manual labour.

independently owned by pharmacists, and as in France, there are no pharmacy
