Medicinal cannabis delivery information

Medicinal cannabis prescription orders are subject to standard delivery times once your prescription has been received and dispensed. Please allow sufficient time for delivery so you do not run out of medicine.

Orders for medicinal cannabis will require valid form of government-issued photo ID and signature on delivery. The shipment will not be left unattended, even if you have an 'Authority To Leave' for your address.

What is an eScript?

eScripts are the digital version of traditional paper prescriptions.

You can access them anytime, anywhere via your smartphone and you don't have to worry about losing them. As a paperless service, eScripts are also a more environmentally friendly option.

eScripts are transmitted and protected through a secured and encrypted system called the Prescription Exchange Service (PES), and only an authorised pharmacist with your permission can access it.

With eScripts, ordering your prescriptions online is now easier than ever! You can submit your eScript to Chemist Warehouse Online to have your medicine dispensed and delivered to your door.
