Pharmacist Diabetes Educator

Kellie Beckenham

Kellie Beckenham is a proud Nganyaywana woman and community pharmacist based in Casino on Bundjalung Country, NSW. With a Bachelor of Pharmacy from the University of Tasmania, Kellie has dedicated her career to rural health, including 11 years as a pharmacy owner in Mungindi on the NSW/QLD border. In response to the high burden of diabetes and limited local specialist access, she became a Pharmacist Diabetes Educator, strengthening culturally responsive chronic-disease care for rural patients.  Kellie has served on the CPRIA Committee and continues to contribute as a valued community and Indigenous representative across multiple committees and groups. In 2025, she was instrumental in shaping the First Nations Pharmacy Network (FNPN), advocating for cultural authority and stronger governance across community pharmacy.
