Our pharmacy near Mulbring NSW, in one trip

A longer drive rewards a bit of planning. Before you head north:

  1. Gather every paper script and check each eScript token has arrived on your phone, so all your medicines can be dispensed together. Ask about an Active Script List too, which Digital Health describes as a digital list of your electronic and barcoded paper prescriptions, convenient if you take multiple medications.
  2. Pack your current medicines, vitamins and supplements in a bag if you want a medication review while you are in.
  3. For a vaccine, come on a weekday, when walk-ins are taken without an appointment as long as a pharmacist immuniser is available.
  4. Watch the clock at the weekend: we close at midday on Saturday and stay shut on Sunday, as the opening hours show.
  5. Leave a few minutes for a free blood pressure check at the counter.

Medicine support that saves return visits

A free Webster-pak seals your regular medicines into one pack, arranged by the times your prescriber wants each dose taken. For households managing several medicines, that means fewer loose boxes to sort at home. The Webster-pak page explains who the packs suit.

Several vaccines have age rules that matter for older adults. The shingles vaccine, pneumonia vaccine and RSV vaccine pages set out who can have a free dose.

Mulbring questions

Can a pharmacist give me the shingles vaccine?

Yes, if you are an adult. The NSW pharmacist standard allows only the Shingrix brand in a pharmacy, for people 18 years and over. Ask us whether you qualify for a free course.

What do I need to bring for a vaccination?

Valid ID, your Medicare card if applicable, and a record of the vaccines you have had before. Some vaccines are free under government programs and others carry a fee, so call ahead for the price.
