Services available in select NSW pharmacies

Community pharmacies are an important point of care for members of the community.

In NSW, pharmacists who have undertaken additional training can now offer 'expanded scope services', to help you manage select common health conditions (which may include treatment without needing a prescription).

Conditions that can be managed by trained pharmacists include:

  • uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs)
  • hormonal contraception resupply (certain types of oral contraceptive pill)
  • minor skin conditions (including eczema, shingles, impetigo and psoriasis).

Additional services from Queensland-trained pharmacists

In addition to the above services, NSW Health has made it possible for pharmacists who have completed Queensland-based university-level training available through the Queensland University of Technology and James Cook University to provide treatment to eligible people for certain additional conditions.

Please note that there is currently a limited number of pharmacists registered to provide these services in NSW.
