Bangalow Pharmacy

At Bangalow Pharmacy, supporting families of premature and sick newborns is not just a professional commitment—it is deeply personal.

For owners Jacqueline and Wesley Meyer, the journey into parenthood was marked by uncertainty, resilience, and extraordinary strength. Nothing prepares you for the emotional weight of a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) experience—the fragile hope, the long days and nights, and the quiet courage it demands from families.

For Jacqueline and Wesley, this partnership is more than giving back—it’s standing beside families in some of their most vulnerable moments, offering understanding that can only come from having been there.

Their story began during their first pregnancy in 2018, when complications arose at just 20 weeks. Their daughter, Fallon, was born at 28 weeks, weighing only 510 grams due to Intrauterine Growth Restriction. What followed was nearly 100 days in NICU—days filled with highs and lows, where every small milestone felt monumental. Alongside their own journey, Jacqueline and Wesley found themselves supporting other families walking a similar path, forming bonds forged in shared experience. All the while running their businesses from a hospital and having their lives thrown into sudden chaos.

Their second child’s arrival brought them back into the NICU once again. Grayson, born at 32 weeks and weighing 1.8 kg, also faced challenges linked to Intrauterine Growth Restriction. Another 30 days in intensive care brought their family’s total to almost 120 days spent navigating the complexities of neonatal care—an experience further intensified by the isolation and uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Today, their children are thriving—healthy, strong, and full of life. But the impact of those early days remains at the heart of everything they do.

With more than a decade of experience as award-winning pharmacists and business owners on the Sunshine Coast, Jacqueline and Wesley have now created something truly special in the Northern Rivers community. Bangalow Pharmacy is a thoughtfully designed, community-focused pharmacy offering tailored services and carefully curated products for families at every stage.

Their lived experience has shaped a deeper understanding of what families truly need—not just clinically, but emotionally. From compassionate guidance to practical support, including lactation advice and newborn care essentials, they offer a space where families feel seen, heard, and supported.

It is this profound connection that makes their partnership with Miracle Babies Foundation so meaningful. By supporting Miracle Babies, Bangalow Pharmacy helps extend vital resources, care, and comfort to families navigating the challenges of premature and sick newborns.

If you or someone you love is facing a similar journey, Bangalow Pharmacy is here—not just as healthcare providers, but as people who truly understand.
