What is MedsCheck?

MedsCheck is a free, government-funded medication review service provided by the Australian pharmacy program. It's a comprehensive one-on-one consultation with one of our qualified pharmacists who will review all your medications in detail.

During your MedsCheck appointment, our pharmacist will take time to understand your health conditions, review every medicine you're taking, and provide personalised advice to help you get the best outcomes from your medications.

This service is available to all eligible Australian residents at no cost.
