Many British expats and globetrotters flock to Australia for its diverse landscapes. From sun-soaked beaches in the north to the rugged outback in the south, these explorers relish a life on the move. However, this itinerant lifestyle can pose challenges when it comes to managing healthcare needs, especially refilling medications. Australia's healthcare system, while excellent, may not always be set up for those frequently moving between regions. This can lead to occasional hiccups for British expats and holidaymakers trying to maintain their prescriptions while adventuring across Australia.
How can we get your medicine to you?
Getting your prescription filled is simple. Sometimes we may need more information from you to make sure we distribute it safely and effectively. Here are some items you may want to keep on hand:
- Medication Information: The name, dosage, and amount of medication that your doctor has prescribed.
- Medical History: It can be helpful to briefly describe any pertinent medical issues and any medicines you are currently taking.
- Physician Verification: In rare circumstances, particularly with regard to drugs that need for careful observation, we might require confirmation from your physician.
We recognise that compared to other places, this may seem like a little more legwork. But don't worry—these measures are only in place to ensure your security and wellbeing. We are always pleased to address any inquiries you may have regarding the necessary information.

What do I need to know?
Australian Laws on Medicine: It's critical to understand the rules that apply to your medication in Australia. Pharmacy Planet can provide advice, but it is the recipient's responsibility to comply with Australian laws.
Delivery Options:There are two ways we can potentially deliver your medication to you:
- UK Delivery: If you would rather get your medication before heading down under, we can arrange for delivery to a UK address where you can pick up your medication. The majority of patients will choose this course of action if they need to get extra copies of their current prescription before heading out on vacation.
- Delivery to Australia (where permissable): Depending on Australian customs laws and procedures, we might be able to set up a straight delivery to your place in Australia.
Travel Documentation Requirements: Pharmacy Planet can furnish proof of prescription and medical need of your drug upon request, should Australian authorities require it.
