Nº 01 · Medication review
A free, government-funded sit-down with one of our pharmacists to check that every medicine on your shelf is still doing what it should. No script required, no rush.
Or walk in any day we’re open — no appointment needed.
Nº 02 · What it does
You bring the shelf. We bring eighteen years of dispensing and a slow half-hour to work through it. What we’re listening for, in plain terms:
Nº 03 · Two kinds
I · MedsCheck
Best when you’re on five or more regular medicines. A comprehensive look at everything on the shelf — prescription, OTC, and supplements — and how they work together.
II · Diabetes MedsCheck
Tailored to Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes management. We look at how your meds are working alongside blood glucose, diet, and lifestyle, and how to get the best from them.
Nº 04 · Eligibility
Four criteria, all of which need to be true. If they’re not, we’ll still take ten minutes over the counter — the free version just isn’t available.
01
An Australian citizen or permanent resident. Medicare card verifies eligibility on the day.
02
Five or more ongoing medicines — or a qualifying diagnosis for the Diabetes MedsCheck variant.
03
The service is government-funded annually. If you’ve had a MedsCheck in the past year, we’ll let you know when you’re next due.
04
You don’t need a referral to book, but we’ll loop your GP in afterwards if anything needs their attention.
Nº 05 · On the day
Prescription bottles, pharmacy boxes, over-the-counter anti-inflammatories, vitamins, herbal supplements — bring the lot. If it goes in your body regularly, it belongs on the table.
Needed to confirm your eligibility for the free, government-funded service.
Whether it’s “does this really do anything?” or “can I stop one of these?” — write them down on the way in. This time is yours.
Blood pressure, blood glucose, INR, kidney-function bloods, or any recent pathology. Optional, but it sharpens the review.
Nº 06 · Common questions
Nº 07 · Book it
Most weeks there’s room inside 48 hours. Walk in if you’re already in town, or call ahead and we’ll set time aside with whichever pharmacist you see most often.
