Sue Leitch

Sue joined the Board in November 2009, and is a pharmacist with 26 years experience in both community pharmacy and industry support.

Currently Sue is serving a fixed term contract as the Acting Director of the Pharmacy Guild of Australia, ACT Branch. This involves work with rural and remote health, indigenous health and continuing government negotiations on health funding, policy and legislation.

Previously she held the position of Consultant Pharmacist for the Pharmacy Guild of Australia, Tasmanian Branch and served two terms as Acting Branch Director for the Tasmanian Branch.

She has just completed 9 months work in Darwin as the Acting Director of the Pharmacy Guild of Australia Northern Territory Branch.

Her professional interests are in medication management in the older community, population health and eHealth. She has served on the Tasmanian Branch Committee of the Pharmacy Guild of Australia and the State Council of the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia, Tasmanian Branch, both in executive positions. She has also served on the Pharmacy Board of Tasmania.

Sue studies Italian language and has been learning the art of mosaics over the last 5 years. This combined interest led to a trip to Europe in 2009, to expand her knowledge in both areas.

Sue is married with two teenage sons, a very spoilt golden retriever and a noisy cockatiel.
