Pharmacies

When you’re unwell, there are a range of different care options available in Tasmania. Choosing the most appropriate service for your needs can help you get the right care sooner and help busy services.

One of the health services that people across Tasmania use every day are Community Pharmacies.

They play an important role within the health system and are often the first place people seek help with health issues.

Pharmacists are experts in medicines and can provide help and advice about minor health problems such as:

• Minor ailments
• Aches and pains
• Coughs and colds
• Cuts and grazes.

They can also help you manage chronic conditions and in many cases provide other services like vaccinations, health screening and medical certificates.

Some pharmacies are open late, on weekends and public holidays.
