Support from your pharmacy - palliative care

Community Pharmacies in Palliative Care in Tasmania (ComPPaCT) provides a list of pharmacies that support people with palliative care medicines to help them stay at home as long as possible.

How ComPPaCT helps you#

When you are caring for someone near end of life it can be hard to get the medicines they need. Tasmanian doctors and pharmacists can help you.

Palliative Care Prepared Pharmacies are community pharmacies that have agreed to keep in stock the most common palliative care medicines.

This means you won’t have to spend time shopping around pharmacies, giving you peace of mind.

Paying for palliative care medicines#

You still need to pay for your medicines just like most other medicines.

Finding a Palliative Care Prepared Pharmacy

The best way to find a pharmacy that stocks palliative care medicines is to use the Find a Pharmacy website.
