If getting to the pharmacy is difficult, whether because of work hours, mobility, illness or simply not having the time, having your medicines brought to you removes a step from an already busy week. Below is how it works at our Stanmore pharmacy and who it suits.

If you are not sure whether your address is covered, call us on (02) 9550 0906 and we can let you know.
How much does prescription delivery cost?
Local delivery is free. You still pay for your medicines as you normally would, whether that is the PBS co-payment amount or the private price, but there is no additional charge for having them delivered.
The Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme sets the co-payment amounts for subsidised medicines, and these are the same whether you collect in store or have your order delivered.
How do I arrange a delivery?
Call us on (02) 9550 0906. Our team will take your details, confirm your prescription and arrange the delivery with you.
If you have not used the pharmacy before, our team will let you know what they need from you when you call.
Who is prescription delivery useful for?
People who work during pharmacy hours. Our hours are Monday to Friday 8:00am to 6:30pm and weekends 9:00am to 2:00pm. If those hours are difficult to work around, delivery is an alternative.
Older people and anyone with limited mobility. A trip to the pharmacy is not always straightforward. Delivery means regular medicines arrive without the journey.
Carers managing medicines for someone else. If you are looking after a family member and already coordinating appointments and supplies, one less pickup helps.
Anyone unwell at home. If you are recovering from an illness and have been prescribed something, going out to collect it is the last thing you want to do.
Families with young children. Getting to the pharmacy with small children in tow is its own exercise. Delivery takes it off the list.
Can Webster packs be delivered?
Yes. If you use our Webster packing service, also known as a dose administration aid, your weekly pack can be delivered rather than collected. Collecting a pack every week is not always practical, and delivery removes that trip.
Speak to our pharmacists about setting this up alongside your packing service.
What if I have a question about my medicine?
Having your prescription delivered does not mean losing access to a pharmacist. You can call us on (02) 9550 0906 at any time during opening hours to ask about your medicines, whether that is how to take something, what to do about a missed dose, or anything else.
For general health information, healthdirect is a useful government-run resource, but for questions specific to your own medicines and circumstances, speak to your pharmacist or GP.
