actually ask
How do I send a script?
You can send your prescription however suits you best: upload it online via our Send Us Your Script form, email it to us, post it to any of our four locations, drop it in person, or ask your prescriber to send it directly. We'll confirm receipt and let you know once it's ready.
Can you deliver to me, wherever I am?
Yes - we deliver Australia-wide via tracked express courier, with orders placed before 2pm AEDT dispatched the same day. Prescription-only medicines can only be sent to an address registered with your prescription.
What if the thing I need isn't available anywhere else?
That's exactly what compounding is for. If a medication has been discontinued, is temporarily out of stock, needs to be in a different strength or form, or simply doesn't exist as a commercial product, we can prepare it to your prescriber's specifications in our on-site labs.
Do I need a prescription?
Most of what we prepare - compounded medications, PBS dispensing, and alternative therapies - requires a valid prescription from a registered practitioner. Some over-the-counter compounded products and vaccinations don't need one. Ask us if you're not sure.
How long does a compounded medication take to prepare?
Most compounded medications are ready within 1-2 business days of receiving your prescription, depending on complexity and ingredient availability. Some more novel preparations may take longer, and require us to investigate and formulate on your behalf. We'll always give you an accurate time frame when your script is received.
Do I need to book a consultation in advance?
Not always. Many pharmacist consultations are available as walk-ins, though this can depend on the day and location. Booking ahead is the easiest way to guarantee your preferred time - contact your nearest Heathershaw's to check availability.
What pharmacist consultations are available?
Our pharmacists can assess and treat a range of minor and ongoing conditions on the spot, including UTIs, oral contraceptive resupply, muscle and joint pain, minor skin conditions, and absence from work certificates - most without a referral. See our Pharmacy Services page for the full list and eligibility criteria.
Do consultations cost anything?
Many of our consultations are offered as a free service under Chemist Care Now if you meet the eligibility criteria. Where a fee applies, your pharmacist will let you know upfront before the consult begins.
Which vaccinations do you offer?
We offer a full range of vaccinations for ages 5 and over, including seasonal and travel vaccines, all delivered by our accredited pharmacist immunisers. No referral needed - just walk in or book online.
Do I need an appointment for a vaccination?
Walk-ins are welcome for most vaccinations, subject to pharmacist availability. If you'd like to guarantee a time, you can book online in a couple of minutes - see our Vaccinations page to get started.
Are vaccinations covered by Medicare or the NIP?
Some vaccines are free under the National Immunisation Program (NIP) if you meet the eligibility criteria - see our Free NIP Vaccinations page for details. Others, like travel vaccines, are charged at a set fee. Our pharmacist can confirm what applies to you.
What alternative therapies are available at Heathershaw's?
We stock a range of alternative therapies at Malvern Road. Please get in touch with us if you would like to know more.
