In 1964 he opened a Pharmacy in Matraville which, from its inception, became an "Honorary Italian Consulate". Andrew gave of his time generously to provide information and advice to Italian migrants. He was appointed a "Cavaliere d Ufficiale" Knight Commander of the Italian Republic on the occasion of the 53' Anniversary of the Italian Republic, in honour of his services to the Australian/Italian Community.

Mr Andrew Gullotta has been a Councillor of the Pharmacy Practice Foundation, and the Pharmacy Alumni Association, since its inauguration in 1984.
