With more than $10 million raised over 13 years, the Priceline Sisterhood Foundation is growing its impact with a new focus on the health and wellbeing issues faced by Australian women and girls.
Relaunching as the Sisterhood Foundation with a modernised visual identify, the Sisterhood has also unveiled a new purpose to hear, acknowledge and address the unique health issues impacting Australian and women and girls through building capability in frontline charities.
In line with its new purpose, the Sisterhood is proud to add four new strategically aligned Charity Partners that champion a range of issues and causes – Jean Hailes for Women’s Health (women’s health education), Smiling Mind (mental health and wellness), Her Heart (heart health for women) and Share the Dignity (tackling period poverty among those women and girls experiencing homelessness, domestic violence and disadvantage).
The new charities join the existing four Charity Partners: Motherless Daughters (supporting women and girls who suffer grief due to mother loss), PANDA (perinatal anxiety and depression), Fitted for Work (helping those seeking employment to become job-ready) and SisterWorks (helping refugees, migrants and asylum-seeking women gain economic empowerment).
Chair of the Sisterhood Foundation and Wesfarmers Health Managing Director Emily Amos said, “The Sisterhood Foundation has a proud history of supporting Australian women and their families. This exciting next chapter will further strengthen the Sisterhood’s impact and empower our new and existing Charity Partners to keep growing and supporting women and girls across the country”.
From 2025, the Foundation will become the official charitable cause for all Wesfarmers Health businesses including SILK Laser, Clear Skincare, InstantScripts and SiSU Health Group, alongside Priceline Pharmacy and Australian Pharmaceutical Industries.
About Wesfarmers Health
Wesfarmers Health was formed as a division of Wesfarmers in March 2022 with the acquisition of one of Australia’s leading health and beauty companies, Australian Pharmaceutical Industries (API). Wesfarmers Health includes 70 company-owned Priceline stores, 405 Priceline Pharmacy franchise stores and 89 Clear Skincare clinics and is also a wholesale distributor of pharmaceutical goods through API. In 2023, Wesfarmers Health expanded its digital and medical aesthetics offering with the acquisitions of telehealth provider InstantScripts, as well as the SILK Group, who operates a network of around 140 wholly owned, joint venture and franchised clinics. In 2024, SiSU Health joined the division’s portfolio. Wesfarmers Health employs more than 3600 team members.
About the Sisterhood Foundation
Priceline Pharmacy launched the Priceline Sisterhood in 2011 after Sir Bob Geldof inspired its Franchise Partners and team members to give back to the communities in which they live and work. In 2013, it became a Foundation with a governing Board including independent and executive Directors and was recognised by the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission. Since inception, the Sisterhood Foundation has raised more than $10 million, provided significant in-kind support and increased awareness for the 11 charities it has funded over 13 years.
