Q. How long does it take for my medication to be delivered?

A: Delivery times depend on your location. Typically, orders are delivered within:

  • Metro areas: 1-2 business days

  • Regional areas: 1-4 business days

  • Remote areas: 4-7 business days
    You’ll receive a tracking link once your order has been dispatched. This can be found in your "Patient Portal" under the "Deliveries" tab


Q. How can I track my order?

A: You’ll receive a tracking link once your order has been dispatched. This can be found in your "Patient Portal" under the "Deliveries" tab


Q. Do I need to be home to receive my delivery?

A: deliveries do not require a signature upon receipt. If you're not home, the courier will do the following:

  • Leave it in a safe location

  • You'll receive a SMS, stating your delivery window of when you can expect your Delivery (EG. 1PM - 3PM )


Q. What happens if my order is delayed?

A: Delays can occur due to high demand, weather disruptions, or courier issues. If your order hasn’t arrived within the estimated timeframe, check your tracking link or contact the "Live Chat" in your Patient Portal for assistance.

Additionally if your consultation with the Dr/Nurse Practitioner is after the cut-off for delivery - it will be sent the following week.
Generally this means before 2:30pm on Thursday - as no new shipments are dispatched on Friday.
This is done to minimize the risk of medication being delayed over the weekend and ensure it spends minimal time in transit.


Q. What should I do if my medication is lost in transit?

A: If your tracking shows no updates for more than 5 business days, or your order is marked as delivered but you haven’t received it, contact us through your "Patient Portal" through the "Live Chat" so we can investigate with the courier.


Q. Can I change my delivery address?

  2. Navigate to the My Account tab

2. Authority to Leave at Your Address

  • If not delivered to an Australia Post Parcel Locker - all deliveries to your house have Authority to Leave, meaning the courier will leave your package at your door without needing a signature.

  • This is much more convenient if you're comfortable with unattended deliveries.
