Managing medicines can become more complex over time, particularly after a hospital stay, when multiple doctors are involved, or when several medicines are taken each day. A Home Medicines Review provides an opportunity to review your medicines with an accredited pharmacist in your own home.
Home Medicines Reviews - What Happens and Who Qualifies?
A Home Medicines Review (HMR) is a GP-referred review of your medicines conducted in your home by an accredited pharmacist. The service is funded by the Australian Government for eligible patients and aims to identify medicine-related issues, answer questions and provide recommendations to your GP.
The short answer
A Home Medicines Review may be beneficial for people who:
- Take multiple regular medicines
- Have recently been discharged from hospital
- Have had changes made to their medicines
- See multiple healthcare providers
- Experience side effects or medicine-related concerns
- Have difficulty managing their medicines
Your GP will determine whether a referral is appropriate for your circumstances.
Who should ask about a Home Medicines Review?
The process usually begins with a referral from your GP.
After referral:
- An accredited pharmacist arranges a visit to your home
- Your medicines are reviewed in detail
- Questions about your medicines can be discussed
- A report is prepared for your GP
The review includes prescription medicines, pharmacy medicines, vitamins, supplements and other health products you may be taking.
How does a Home Medicines Review work?
No GP appointment needed for many conditions.
A home visit allows the pharmacist to see how medicines are stored and managed in everyday life.
This can help identify:
- Medicines that are no longer being used
- Duplicate products
- Expired medicines
- Practical difficulties with medicine management
- Opportunities to simplify medicine routines
The review focuses on understanding how medicines are being used in a real-world setting.
Why does the review happen at home?
Book online or drop in during opening hours.
No GP appointment needed for many conditions.
If you think a Home Medicines Review may be appropriate, speak with your GP.
You can also speak with our pharmacy team, who can explain the service and help you discuss it with your doctor.
How do I arrange a Home Medicines Review?
Does a Home Medicines Review cost anything?
For eligible patients, the service is funded by the Australian Government.
Is a Home Medicines Review the same as a MedsCheck?
No. A MedsCheck is conducted in the pharmacy, while a Home Medicines Review is a more comprehensive review conducted in your home following a GP referral.
How long does the visit take?
The length of the review varies depending on the number of medicines being discussed, but most appointments take around an hour.
