Terry White Chemmart

Kawana store:: After having to reschedule twice due to work and family commitments that arose (with more than the required 25 hours' notice each time), I finally secured an appointment for rabies vaccinations, which were needed urgently for upcoming travel. Upon arrival, we were kept waiting past our appointment time and advised the pharmacist… Read more
was on lunch. We then overheard a staff member remark that our wait didn't matter because we had already rescheduled twice. ([Name Removed]) When the pharmacist arrived, (a younger man who didn’t give us his name) he advised he was unfamiliar with the vaccine and spent around 20 minutes researching it before providing information that was incorrect. He stated we would require three doses rather than two, (only correct for immunocompromised people which we are not) then incorrectly advised we would not be protected in time for travel (we would be 2 weeks post dose 2 which WAS within our timeframe), and suggested the vaccination was largely a waste of money. Given the time-sensitive nature of the vaccination schedule, receiving incorrect advice could have put our travel plans at risk as we are now going to be past the timeframe for vaccination . I left feeling very uncomfortable with the level of knowledge and confidence shown regarding a specialised travel vaccine. We had previously received vaccinations through another TerryWhite Chemmart (BRI in Caloundra) pharmacist who was excellent, however based on this experience I would not recommend this store for travel vaccinations or even general pharmacy.
Inverloch . Two older sales associates absolutely abhorrent in their duties.This behaviour is ongoing such a huge let down as99% of the staff are fantastic in their roles.These women are the 1% that let this business down, just plain mean and… Read more
rude.If there was another pharmacy they would have our business. Maybe consult the Leongatha store ,exceptional on all levels .These women could learn …maybe or maybe not.
Follow-up · I have not come across the staff that l have mentioned. I did have a chat to one of the pharmacists.,so hopefully moving forward everyone’s experiences will be more positive.
I attended the Terry White Chemist at Colonnades today and asked if they would price match with a product on the chemist warehouse website. They told me they don’t do that anymore, so I took my scripts and I will not be shopping there anymore. They were curt in their reply and said they have not done that in 6 months. Lost my business of $1,000 for the sake of a $20 price match!

Waste of money – Bought a tube of solv easy Times cream, on the advice of the chemist( I normally use Lamisil) But was told works well and its cheaper. After using for 5 days it did nothing at all . Absolutely not a. Thing, and it cost $17.50 At kanawa, Queensland. Show details

good selection and great service, offering nurse service and injections. Good product advice, parking and no long wait times. Other pharmacies in the area refused the injection service but they checked and did it.
Terrific service by Kathy at Burpengary, QLD who went out of her way to obtain an “out of stock” medication and was so helpful and cheerful whilst doing this. A pleasant surprise to receive such old fashioned enthusiasm to help and very much appreciated. Show details
TerrWhite Ascot is the best Pharmacy I have ever visited. The staff go above and beyond and are super friendly and helpful. You are always treated with respect and a smile. I go way out of my way to use this store as I know I'll get top notch service every time. Show details

Booked online for a vaccination at Terry White Corso Manly. Turned up and told that there was no pharmacist available and I should return in a few hours time. This despite getting a reminder of my appointment 30 mins beforehand. (This was compounded by the fact that I had turned up yesterday and requested a vaccination and the pharmacist on duty… Read more
said I will need to book online which I went home and did). The same thing happened to my daughter. I then went across the way to Malouf Pharmacy and the performed the vaccination right away. The reason I left Chemist Warehouse for Terry White was the indifferent service I received. Perhaps time to move across to Malouf.
Terry White Pharmacy at Raymond Terrace charges you for using Eftpos. So go to Capital Pharmacy who charges you NIL. This is terrible for chemist to charge an eftpos fee.
Poor customer service at Mawson Lakes. I ordered medication through the Terry White app and they sent a Doordasher who insisted on scanning my driver's licence so the delivery couldn't be completed. The pharmacist offered to send the medication which I appreciated however I was charged twice. I was given the runaround trying to resolve this with… Read more
them and ended up disputing the unauthorised transaction. Shop at another chemist and save money while keeping your blood pressure down.

Joan at Terry White in Coffs Harbour Park Beach Plaza couldn't have been more helpful. I needed a blood pressure monitor and she went through all the different types then demonstrated the one I chose on me so I was confident taking it home . It was very much appreciated Thank you Show details
Got flu vaccination done for our family. Afran(Vaccinator) provided a very pleasant and efficient service. She was professional, friendly, and made the whole experience smooth and comfortable. Highly recommended!

Terrible service, denied my script for my son after dispensing it and then wouldn't give it to me. Returned again and was charged full proce for my script that is on the pbs and they have my card on file how devious. What was I thinking returning... Show details
I had a close friend who worked for a Terry white franchisee. The pharmacist in charge was an angry bully and stole prescription items , but he was never fired. It was an awful working environment. Caused my friend so much depression and grief
Big ups to all your staff members – Always friendly helpful staff at all terry white chemist that I've visited. Staff are there to make things easy to find thank you
Bathurstbl branch over charge – Have tried to buy from the Bathurst branch on 2 occasions and both times they have wanted to over charge me. Would never go back to the Bathurst branch. Show details
Travel shots appointments a complete waste of time – The travel vaccinations appointments are a joke. I made an "appointment" for 9.30am but basically you have to sit and wait until the pharmacist is free to see you. So while customers are coming in, you sit and wait with no idea how long it will take. After almost half an hour of waiting I left. Such a waste of time! Don't offer appointments when it isn't at all like that. You're a walk-in, with potluck as to when you'll be seen. Show details
Have Removed Price Match with Other Chemists – Removed price match policy without notice. Their prices are no longer competitive with Chemist Warehouse as they don't price match at all. Chemist Warehouse just earned a new customer. Their pricing for prescription medication is $6 more than CW.
Great experience – TerryWhite kingston Town, I always find Lee at the front desk very helpful and easy to talk to,she is always nice and friendly. They have everything I need and the pharmacy is good
Online prescription services a joke – Not the first or second time. Order prescription online and approx 2 hours. 4 hours, 6 hours, not done at all when ordered st 9am Pharmacy states we do our best which is absolutely not true, don't answer phones, went down on previous one 4 hours and nothing and got. Oh we are busy so have not even started the online orders Today did not answer phone and now closed. Burpengary you are a disgrace.

Friendly service – Always get wonderful service at terry white Wadalba, all the staff always give a friendly greeting and are quick to serve you. It’s a pleasure to go there. Very good prices too cheaper than Woolworths.
CATALOGUE SPECIALS ONLY IN CERTAIN STORES? – I visited Narellan specifically to purchase a catalogue special and was informed that they were not available in all stores so I drove to Campbelltown to purchase where I had no problem purchasing, and then when I returned home and looked at the catalogue, it said, 'Participating Catalogue stores" and the Narellan store WAS named... ?

Terrible Terry White – What’s worst than terrible…. terryf**white! Even 1 star is too good for them! Both online and shop are terrible! Price tags say something but they charge you something else. Show details
Superior service from Nadine (CPAP machines) at Eltham branch – Nadine at Thompsons Eltham has been extremely helpful in dealing with the CPAP machine problems I have had due to my rather rare condition. I have been to see her multiple times in the last two years and have found that she investigates the problems thoroughly and arrives at workable solutions Show details
Long time customer, last time disappointed – Third time in a row my meds are unavailable despite getting them every Wednesday for the last year. No warning, no notice. No clue when they will have it???? Incompetent, angry, no empathy, attacking customers verbally for a simple question. Scripts lost. Expired. Out of date, unavailable for days at a time. Not the staff in the main. The… Read more
proprietor is an incompetent idiot with anger management issues who refuses to take the blame for any of his screw ups. Found another pharmacy that supplies my script, won't be back.
Unwanted messages – Made the mistake of giving them my number when I picked up a script from TWC. Started getting spammed while waiting for the script. No opt out on SMS. Link in messages takes me to download of their app. FFS now got to block them. Will get my scripts elsewhere now. Why do organisations think this good for business?
Hit and miss and very disappointing for healthcare overall – Terry White Lindisfarne (I refuse to go in there now due to Shane Jackson’s repeated treatment of disrespect and unnecessary rude behaviour towards me and have been made to feel like such an imposition especially when I’m suffering from a very vulnerable type of illness that requires continual medication. Terry White Kingston are an absolute… Read more
disgrace too and the male pharmacist Connon literally can’t wait to get you out of his sight, even if you have a gift for him (eggs etc). Took months to get him to smile even! A bit of positive connection is very important for many, including myself especially as a paying customer.
The lack of customer support is so horrifying especially when you’re in SUCH vulnerable situations. Terry white in Sorell and Dodges Ferry are better but, yeah, not very happy at all at the lack of care from most pharmacies under the TW umbrella. I travel across southern Tasmania for my job and regularly visit a pharmacy 3 times a week and have done over the last 4 years. It’s alarming the inconsistency of care across the state.
A pleasure to visit – I have been using the Inverloch pharmacy, on a consistent basis for a number of years, and the staff have always treated me with courtesy and respect in a very friendly manner. The Pharmacists have answered any queries I’ve had, in a friendly and professional manner which is appreciated, and I would have no hesitation in recommending this pharmacy to those that have need of it.
