Please use the next couple of weeks to arrange scripts for this period as our office will be unattended during this time. A reminder that we hold a script clinic at 8am each morning for repeat scripts - no appointment needed.

12.01.2022 Queensland, we need your help! Going out in public when youre sick is not responsible. Going to work with a sore throat and runny nose is not responsible. Visi...ting family and friends when youre feeling under the weather, is not responsible. Not only is it irresponsible to do all of the above, but you also risk infecting someone who cannot fight off a virus, like the elderly man at the supermarket or the immunocompromised woman on the bus. A simple way to stop spreading germs to those around you is to stay at home, because at the end of the day, youre not just responsible for your health, but also the health of others. If youre sick, please stay at home and help to save lives. #StayAtHomeSaveLives.
