From 1st July 2023, the Government scrapped the $5 co-payment. Prescriptions for children aged 13 years old or younger, or for patients with a High Usage Card were free before 1st July and will remain free. Repeats and most controlled drug scripts also have no charge.
Life gets busy.
So, we offer a service to remind you about your next prescription repeat.
Simply register at the pharmacy or give us a call and let us know how you’d like to be reminded, either via email, text message or phone call.
We’ll notify you prior to your next scheduled repeat date, allowing you peace of mind.
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is more common than you may think, and - contrary to popular belief - is not a condition that you need to learn to live with.
We can determine your suitability for ED medicines after a private consultation at our pharmacy. If suitable, we can supply your medicine on the same day, saving you a trip to the GP.
You may be eligible for a prescription subsidy card if you receive 20 or more prescription items within 12 months (1 February - 31 January). You can combine the number of prescriptions with members of your family, including your spouse and dependent children up to age 18.
Our accredited pharmacists can provide hepatitis C support in the pharmacy. We are accredited to dispense Maviret (glecaprevir and pibrentasvir) that has been prescribed by your doctor for the treatment of hepatitis C and are able to provide you with counselling to support your treatment.
Do you have trouble falling asleep, staying asleep or waking up early? Our pharmacists can provide melatonin to adults aged 55 years or older who have difficulty sleeping.
