The March Finance Market Update is now available.

This month we unpack the RBA's back-to-back rate hike, the latest mortgage rate movements, and what a two-speed housing market means for buyers and investors across the country. With affordability pressures shifting the growth story to mid-sized capitals and lower quartile properties leading the charge, there's plenty to digest this month.

We're thrilled to welcome Stella Samuel to the team as a Solicitor!

Stella brings a truly unique perspective to AP Legal, with over 21 years working inside some of the world's leading financial institutions, including ANZ, NAB, Commonwealth Bank, Equity Trustees, and Barclays in the UK. That means she's seen complex transactions, regulatory challenges, and high-stakes decisions from both sides of the table.

Holding a Juris Doctor and admitted as a lawyer of the Supreme Court of Victoria, Stella is known for her calm, considered approach and her genuine commitment to understanding what clients actually need.

When she's not practising law, you'll find her experimenting in the kitchen, getting lost in a good book, or listening to music.

We're so glad to have her on board. Welcome, Stella!

Pharmacy NEO, Port Fairy Victoria - Sold & Settled by Chris Swifte of AP Group! 🎉

When you own a wonderful pharmacy in a picturesque town like Port Fairy, saying goodbye is never easy. This was certainly the case for Perri McCarthy and Jeng Lim, who entrusted Chris Swifte and the AP Group team to find a buyer who would embrace the town and its close-knit community just as they had.

After careful consideration, we are pleased to say the perfect match was found.

Congratulations to Gavin Lau who is an ideal fit for this regional community and well positioned to continue the strong legacy Perri and Jeng built. We wish him every success as he takes Pharmacy NEO Port Fairy into its next chapter.

Today we took a break from the floor at the Conference on the Gold Coast to host a lunch with some of our key advisor partners.

APP is always a great chance to catch up with people from across the pharmacy sector, and it was especially nice to sit down in the same room with advisors we work closely with but rarely see in person, due to being based all over the country.

Thanks to everyone who joined us today. It was great to catch up and enjoy a proper conversation away from the conference crowd.

11/03/2026

The AP Group team have arrived at on the Gold Coast!

We are here and ready for an exciting few days of connecting with pharmacy owners, industry professionals, and future partners. If you’re attending, we’d love to catch up, whether it’s to talk pharmacy sales, finance, or legal, or just to say hello. Make sure you reach out to us to lock in a time for a chat!

Sold & Settled by Chris Swifte of AP Group - Maddington Medical Centre Pharmacy, WA! 🎉

We are delighted to announce the successful sale of Maddington Medical Centre Pharmacy in Western Australia.

A sincere thank you to the vendor, Tri Vo, for once again trusting Chris Swifte and the AP Group team to facilitate the sale of one of his businesses. Being invited back to support a client through another important transition is something we genuinely value, and we appreciate the continued trust placed on Chris and our team.

It is especially rewarding to see this pharmacy transition to first-time business owners, and we congratulate Moe Choueib and Malcolm Pham on this exciting milestone. Stepping into ownership for the first time is a significant achievement, and we are confident they are already making a positive impact by delivering quality healthcare services to the Maddington community and building strong working relationships with the adjoining doctors’ practice.

We wish Moe and Malcolm every success as they take the pharmacy forward into its next chapter.
