Pharm defence award

STEVE Flavel’s Woody Point
Pharmacy is the winner of the
National Employer Support Awards
2014 in the small business category,
presented at a dinner hosted by the
Defence Reserves Support Council
in Canberra.
Presented by Assistant Minister
for Defence Stuart Robert, the
award recognised Flavel’s support
of his employee, Army Reservist
Luke Wale, during his posting to the
Solomon Islands.
Wale had since finished his
preregistration training, Flavel said.
This support included providing
military service leave and visiting
Wale in the Solomon Islands to see
how the training would benefit
his career, where Commander of
the Eighth Brigade Brigadier Allan
Murray said Flavel reassured other
reservists that employers were
behind them.
Flavel said it was “vitally
important” for pharmacy to be
recognised in the community as
being responsible and desired
employers who were active
contributors.
This was a further example of
how pharmacy contributed to
its communities in a far broader
perspective than “many politicians
would have the public believe,”
Flavel said.
