Pharmacies Now Treat Chronic Conditions | Perth News
Description
New South Wales is revolutionizing healthcare by letting hundreds of pharmacies treat chronic conditions like high blood pressure and breathing issues—right at your local chemist, cutting through GP wait times. Building on existing pharmacist-led care for UTIs and skin problems, 250 more pharmacies now offer oral contraceptives and manage common ailments including nausea, reflux, and acne. Premier Chris Minns says this move eases hospital strain, frees up doctors for complex cases, and brings care closer to home—without replacing essential GP visits, especially for kids. It’s a smart, scalable step toward a more resilient health system.
