Your Discount Chemist is an Australian-owned, family-run pharmacy group committed to providing Australians with great value, trusted advice and exceptional service. Based in Port Macquarie, NSW, Your Discount Chemist operates 13 pharmacies across NSW, ACT and Queensland, with many of our stores proudly serving regional and rural communities.
Our business is owned and operated by four brothers, all qualified pharmacists, who each play an active role in the day-to-day operation and growth of the group. As pharmacists ourselves, we understand the importance of combining competitive prices with professional advice and genuine customer care.
We launched yourdiscountchemist.com.au in November 2010 with a simple goal: to make our competitive pharmacy prices and extensive product range accessible to customers across Australia, particularly those in regional and rural communities who may not have the same access to large pharmacy retailers.
More than 15 years later, we continue to serve customers across Australia through our online store while remaining firmly connected to the local communities our pharmacies serve. Our online operations are based at our Port Macquarie superstore, which is also open to the public at 119 Horton Street, Port Macquarie, NSW.
We are always looking for ways to improve and value your feedback. If you have a question or need assistance, please visit our Contact Us page. To share your experience or provide feedback, please use our Feedback Form.
