Sleep Apnoea Clinic
Our accredited sleep specialists provide free in-home sleep testing and Medicare-eligible CPAP therapy solutions. We stock leading brands like ResMed and Philips Respironics, offering ongoing support for sleep apnoea management. Patients receive personalised mask fitting and machine maintenance guidance to ensure restful sleep.
Absence from Work Certificate
Qualified pharmacists issue absence from work certificates for personal or carer's leave without GP referral. The $35 service includes professional assessment and documentation for short-term illness or injury, with certificates valid for up to two days.
Weekly Medication Packs
Individually sealed weekly medication packs ensure accurate dosing and prevent mix-ups. Our pharmacy-packaged solutions include day/time labelling, home delivery options, and tailored GP communication for patients managing multiple prescriptions.
Home Medication Reviews
Accredited pharmacists conduct home visits to review medication regimens, identify potential interactions, and improve treatment outcomes. This service benefits patients taking five+ medications or those recently hospitalised, with GP reporting included.
Blood Pressure Monitoring
Quick five-minute blood pressure assessments include lifestyle advice and GP referral when needed. Our pharmacists help identify hypertension risks through regular monitoring and health education sessions.

My partner and I go to this chemist fortnightly, (have done so for 5+ years) for our regular medications and never had an issue. Staff are polite, helpful, and well informed. Wait times are usually low, the premises are clean and well organised. Staff are following Covid direction, and when staff are used as a shouting post for a disgruntled customer, they handle the situation well. There is a genuine level of care and compassion by staff here, and will do their best every time to help.

Absolutely disgusting service. Even with an exemption not only was I continued to ask to wear a mask, just wanted my sons antibiotics. Been going there since April. When I asked for a mask I was told No!! So putrid behaviour. Hope your ashamed of yourself. Wont mention her name, no one deserves to be spoken down to or belittled for having an exemption. FYI your not allowed to ask for proof. You don't wear a badge. Read the laws before going to work today .
