CHP Australia advocates for self-care as a core principle of national health policy.

I've had the privilege of working with CHP Australia for over 20 years, and their dedication to advancing self-care has been truly remarkable. Their expertise, advocacy and collaboration have played a crucial role in shaping a responsible and effective OTC market, ensuring Australian consumers have the right level of access to safe and reliable self-care products. CHP remains a trusted voice in the industry, and I am deeply grateful for their partnership, hard work, and the significant impact they have made over the years.
