About St Johns Pharmacy

A handy local dispensary doubling as an unexpected spot for gift shopping, this community pharmacy provides prescription dispensing, advice and treatment for minor illnesses, flu vaccinations, and free disposal of expired medicines and sharps. Funded prescriptions are free for eligible groups such as those 65 and older or 13 and under, with a standard \$5 charge for others (as at 2026). Having an approachable suburban chemist means having someone on hand who takes the time to explain new medications and walk older patients through their dosages without fuss.

Regulars warmly praise the friendly team for looking after whole families and taking genuine care of elderly relatives, alongside stocking a surprisingly good selection of gifts. Experiences can vary, however; one visitor reported frustration over a missing prescription that could not be traced before closing. You will find them at 13 Great North Road in Saint Johns Hill, open Monday to Friday from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM.
