Why are some items PICKUP ONLY?

    • Dangerous Goods

Dangerous Goods are any products that are flammable or are considered high risk. We are unable to post any dangerous goods including aerosols, fragrances and items containing batteries, due to Australia Post regulations.

    • Bulky Items

We are unable to post bulky items including nappies, baby formula, toilet paper and various other large items.

    • Select Prescriptions

We are unable to post certain prescriptions due to both Australia Post and healthcare regulations.

There are some medicines which contain controlled drugs or are considered drugs of concern e.g. morphine. We are legally required to provide counselling and additional information when supplying these items. A Pharmacist intervention may be required.

Prescription items such as syrups are legally required to leave the dispensary ready to be consumed with an expiry period of 7 days. Due to variable shipping times it would be unsafe to post these items.
