Online pharmacy Chemist2U was created with the primary aim of helping Australians have their medicine delivered quickly and easily. Our service offers a level of convenience never seen before, saving customers crucial time and energy.
For many Australians, going to the pharmacy can be inconvenient or unsafe, and we aim to remove that burden. Our online pharmacy app and website are simple platforms that allow users to immediately order what they need at the click of a button.
If you are a repeat prescription user, we can keep you on track by storing your medical profile and reminding you when you require a refill.
All Concession and Safety Net discounts are available
All Concessioncard and Safety Net card discounts are available on Chemist2U.
Order PBS medication on Chemist2U with a valid concession card and pay $7.30 per script.
How do I know if Chemist2U is available in my area?
Chemist2U operates in all capital cities and major regional areas across Australia.
To find out whether Chemist2U can deliver to you, type in your address here.
How does Chemist2U work?
Once you have downloaded our online pharmacy app or visited our website, you enter your delivery address and start browsing the various categories of pharmacy medication and other products, adding what you need to your cart.
If you require prescription medication delivered, simply upload a photo or scan of your script which will be processed by one of our partner pharmacies. Once a script has been approved, you will be notified and you can then review the order and make final payment.
Once your order is placed, your delivery window is confirmed.
With paper prescription orders, we are required to first collect your script and return it to the dispensing pharmacy before delivering your medication, along with your copy of the original script and any repeats.
If there are any issues with your order, our customer service team are available.
Please note that we cannot accept paper scripts for Ozempic and Mounjaro.
How simple is Chemist2U to use?
Chemist2U is very simple to use and like many online shopping platforms where you can add products to your cart and checkout using your address and card details. If you are ordering a prescription, you can simply take a photo of your prescription which, once submitted, is quickly approved by a pharmacist.
After ordering, you will receive SMS updates to confirm everything is in order and on track. If at any time there are issues or you need help, our customer service team are available via phone, email or chat.
What are the benefits of Chemist2U over traditional pharmacy services?
At Chemist2U, our goal is to allow Australians to access the medicine they need without the hassle of waiting in queues at the pharmacy.
Chemist2U provides a simple and efficient alternative to ordering by phone, hand-delivering your script to the pharmacy and then often waiting days for your medication to arrive. Within a few minutes, you can place your order from your device and it will be delivered straight from the chemist to you. Same-day, or next-day, subject to the time of your order.
Chemist2U’s Pharmacy & Customer Care team are available to provide general advice about your medication and assist you with orders if required. Contact them here.
Products
What type of medicine can I buy from Chemist2U?
The Chemist2U online pharmacy catalogue contains the majority of products found in retail pharmacy. To order over-the-counter medications simply browse the catalogue and “add to cart”.
All prescription medications, other than Schedule 8 medications, are available for dispensing and same day delivery from our pharmacy network.
To order prescription medications you will need a valid prescription. Simply upload a photo or scan of your paper script, or a screenshot of your electronic prescription.
Can I get over-the-counter & prescription medicine at Chemist2U?
What if I cannot find the product I am looking for?
If you can’t find the item you’re looking for, contact our customer service team and they will help you find a suitable alternative.
Call 1300 22 32 32. Or click the web chat icon (bottom right of your screen).
Are my items shipped from Chemist2U?
Orders on Chemist2U are filled by a partner pharmacy in your local area and we take care of delivery.
Does Chemist2U charge more than a regular pharmacy?
No. All prescription pricing is based on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme’s (PBS) Dispensed Price for Maximum Quantity (DMPQ) – which provides a saving of between $5 to $6 for each prescription order, versus the PBS General Patient Charge.
Concession card holders pay the concession price of $6.80 per PBS script and receive their Safety Net benefits.
Prescriptions
How do I order my prescription online when my doctor has given me a paper script?
We allow you to upload a photo or scan of your paper script (or a screenshot of your electronic prescriptions).
Once your prescription has been validated, you will receive a notification to review your order and make final payment prior to delivery.
One difference with paper scripts is the legal requirement for them to be returned to the dispensing pharmacy. Chemist2U takes care of this via a dedicated courier and a Paper Script Collection & Return Fee of up to $14.95 applies.
If yours is a paper script, your repeats will be delivered to you with your medication.
Please note that we cannot accept paper scripts for Ozempic and Mounjaro.
What is an eScript and what if I have one?
eScripts, also known as electronic prescriptions, are a type of prescription that is generated, stored, and transmitted electronically. eScripts are a convenient way to get prescription medicines without having to worry about losing the paper script you usually get from your GP. eScripts can be easily accessed through your smartphone or email, and are sent to you in the form of a unique QR code (also called a ‘token’).
Chemist2U can deliver your eScript prescriptions (excluding Schedule 8 medications) straight from the chemist to you.
Is discount pricing available for concession card holders?
Yes. You just need to upload a photo of your concession card to access the discount prices.
What is a Paper Script Collection & Return Fee?
Due to a recent change in legislation, dispensing from a photo of a prescription is no longer allowed. With paper prescriptions, therefore, it is now a legal requirement that they are delivered back to the pharmacy prior to dispensing.
Chemist2U takes care of this via a dedicated courier that collects the customer’s paper script and delivers it back to their local, Chemist2U partner pharmacy. A Paper Script Collection & Return Fee of up to $14.95 is charged for this service.
Please note that we cannot accept paper scripts for Ozempic and Mounjaro.
There is no Script Collection & Return Fee with electronic prescriptions!
All medicines can be dispensed via electronic prescriptions. These electronic prescriptions do not require collection and therefore the Script Collection and Return fee does not apply.
Just ask your doctor to email, or SMS, your electronic prescription.
Does Chemist2U take repeats into account?
Yes, with paper prescriptions your repeat prescription will be printed at the pharmacy and sent back with your medication. (This should be attached with the customer copy of the original script to enable you to reorder.)
With electronic prescriptions, repeats are issued via SMS or email. A convenient and increasingly popular option!
Does Chemist2U charge more for prescriptions?
All of our online prescription pricing is based on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme’s (PBS) Dispensed Price for Maximum Quantity (DMPQ) – which provides a saving of between $5 to $6 for each prescription order, versus the PBS General Patient Charge.
Help
Can I make an order for someone else if they need my help or are in my care?
Yes, if you are ordering for someone outside your household, enter their address as the delivery address and upload an image of their prescription. If this is a paper prescription, it will need to be collected from the recipient so that it can be taken to the dispensing pharmacy.
When ordering prescription medication you will also create a medical profile for the recipient. A medical profile includes important information for the dispensing pharmacist, regarding allergies, other medications etc.
Who do I contact if I have an issue with my order?
Please contact our customer service team by calling 1300 22 32 32 or using web chat (see icon bottom right of your screen). You can also email us at support@chemist2U.com.au.
