The benefits for you and your family

Being able to access treatment and advice for the health conditions included in the pilot, you and your family will be able to access health care faster and more conveniently. Most Australians live within 2.5km of a community pharmacy and they’re often open after hours or on weekends.

With pharmacists being able to take care of you without the need for you to go to the GP for all your health concerns, there will be increased GP availability for when they’re really needed and less burden on emergency departments. This is great for you, GPs, and for Australia’s healthcare system.

If you are unwell, you should consider visiting your community pharmacy first. A pharmacist can assess and review your symptoms and help you decide what your best option for care is, whether it’s seeing your GP, another healthcare provider, or seeking treatment from a community pharmacist participating in the pilot.

Please note that if your condition is urgent or requires immediate care, go directly to an emergency department or call 000.
