The benefits for you and your family
Access health care faster and more conveniently through your community pharmacy. Most Australians live within 2.5km of a community pharmacy, which are often open after hours or on weekends and offer walk-in and online booking options to suit your needs.
If you are unwell, consider visiting your community pharmacy first. Your community pharmacist can assess and review your symptoms and help you decide what your best care option is --whether it’s seeing your GP, another healthcare provider, or offering you same day treatment themselves.
With pharmacists offering these additional services, you no longer need to wait for GP availability. Now you can save those visits for when you really need them and decrease the burden on emergency departments. This is great for you, GPs, hospitals, and the rest of Australia’s healthcare system.
The services that Queensland community pharmacists offer to patients can save you valuable time and hassle through treatment options for common everyday conditions and to help you better manage your high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, asthma, and more closer to where you live, work, and play.
Please note that if your condition is urgent or requires immediate care, go directly to an emergency department or call 000.
