Australia Post is launching a new free prescription delivery service to assist vulnerable Australians and people isolating to access medication from home.

From Monday, pharmacies around the country can offer free delivery on prescriptions to their customers through the Pharmacy Home Delivery Service.

The new delivery option will support vulnerable Australians, including those isolating themselves at home, people over 70 and people with chronic health conditions.

The initiative allows vulnerable members of the community to receive medication and other essential supplies under 500 grams once a month through Australia Post’s Express Post network.
