How we rate pharmacy brands

Our review compares pharmacy brands on customer satisfaction, so you can find out what other Aussies think about the compared brands before you go ahead with a purchase. Think of it as like asking hundreds of your closest mates which pharmacy brand they think is best!



Canstar Blue surveyed 2,616 Australians for their feedback on the pharmacy brand(s) they’ve purchased and used in the last six months.
  • The outcomes reported in these ratings are measured via PureProfile’s accredited online research panel.



Respondents rate their satisfaction with their pharmacy brand(s) from zero to 10, where zero is extremely dissatisfied and 10 is extremely satisfied. Brand satisfaction was rated by respondents on the following criteria:
  • Value for money: How satisfied are you with the value for money of products purchased at the pharmacy?
  • Prescription fill efficiency: How satisfied are you with the speed and availability of your prescriptions at the pharmacy?
  • Staff and service: How satisfied are you with how helpful and knowledgeable the pharmacy staff are, including the level of advice they provide?
  • Range of products: How satisfied are you with the range of products available at the pharmacy, including beauty products and vitamins?
  • Store layout: How satisfied are you with how easy it is to navigate the pharmacy and locate products?
  • Website layout: How satisfied are you with the ease of navigating the pharmacy website and finding products?
  • Checkout experience: How satisfied are you with the convenience and speed of the checkout experience?



The winner is the brand Aussies rate highest for the things that matter most to customers, based on overall satisfaction. To see how we crunch the numbers, check out our methodology page.
