What is a Home Medicines Review?

A Home Medicines Review (HMR) is a comprehensive medication assessment conducted by an expert clinical pharmacist in the comfort of your own home. This government-funded service helps ensure you’re getting the most benefit from your medications while minimising potential risks.

Did you know? Only 6.5% of eligible Australians living in the community receive medication reviews, despite evidence showing they can significantly improve medication safety and health outcomes, and reduce the risk of hospitalisations.

This service is right for you if any of the following apply:

R

You take multiple medications (5 or more)

R

You have a complex health condition

R

You have recently been discharged from hospital

R

You have experienced changes to your medication routine
