Cowie joins Sigma from FRED IT, and is also a pharmacy member of the Victorian Pharmacy Authority.

She stated she is “delighted to be taking up such an important role to oversee the packaging and distribution of medicines across vital Australian communities”.

“I have a passion for improving the healthcare outcomes for patients, ensuring the highest standards of clinical governance are always maintained and driving operational excellence, so when this position arose at MPS I eagerly embraced the opportunity to take on the role,” Cowie said.
