Fourth 24/7 pharmacy announced in South Australia
2 June 2025
The Pharmaceutical Society of Australia (PSA) welcomes the opening of Adelaide’s fourth 24/7 pharmacy, providing around-the-clock access to pharmacist care and expert advice.
Terry White Chemmart Hallett Cove will join three existing 24-hour pharmacies around Adelaide, providing non-urgent advice and care for families, workers and others who need access to healthcare outside usual working hours.
PSA South Australia and Northern Territory President Dr Manya Angley FPS joined Premier Peter Malinauskas, Treasurer Stephen Mullighan, Health Minister Chris Picton and Member for Black Alex Dighton at Terry White Chemmart Hallett Cove.
“You never know when you’ll need health advice, medicines or support,” Dr Angley said. “Having 24-hour access to pharmacist advice is a game changer for so many South Australians.”
“The opening of a fourth 24/7 pharmacy in Adelaide means more people can access pharmacist services, from treatment for uncomplicated UTIs to palliative care medicines to mental health first aid.
“Pharmacists are highly skilled, trusted healthcare practitioners, and more South Australians can now have greater confidence that they can access a pharmacist when they need it most.”
On Sunday Minister Picton also announced a $2.2 million investment over three years to drive expanding scope of practice, including support for the work of the Office of the Chief Pharmacist and financial support for pharmacists to meet the additional costs of undertaking full scope training.
“This is welcome investment in pharmacists operating to full and top of scope and our growing role in providing timely, accessible and safe care to South Australians,” Dr Angley said.
“As the peak professional body for all pharmacists, we’re looking forward to continuing to work with the South Australian Government and Chief Pharmacist Naomi Burgess to give South Australians better access to care by unlocking the full potential of our state’s pharmacists.”
