HIV medication (S100 drugs) is currently dispensed only in outpatient pharmacies in public hospitals and sexual health clinics in NSW. In theory, every hospital pharmacy in NSW is authorised to dispense HIV medication, but they only stock these medications if there is local demand. The list below includes the main hospital pharmacies that supply HIV medication.
The first time you access the service, you'll need to provide the pharmacy with a prescription from an S100 prescriber (your GP), together with a letter acknowledging that you are entitled to the Prescribed Benefits Scheme (PBS). Please talk to your doctor before going to a new pharmacy for your HIV medication.
Some pharmacies may close on Fridays or prior to a public holiday. If you are running low on your medication, you will need to plan ahead. Call your local pharmacy to check whether they are open before you visit. If you have difficulty getting your HIV medication, call the pharmacy to see if they can give you some advice.
