Allied Master Chemists of Australia Limited (Amcal) is an Australian pharmacy retailer. It was founded by Major General C. H. Simpson on 13 July 1937, in a move that greatly influenced the pharmacy industry in Australia. The founding group consisted of 11 pharmacists.
The launch of Amcal to consumers included personal letters to each household, window posters, the give-away of a tablet of soap, and a brochure entitled "Why this is an Amcal Pharmacy".
