Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my statement show a charge as "6HEMIST LAURIMAR DOREEN AUS" instead of Chemist Discount Centre?

Many banks abbreviate or slightly misread merchant names in their systems. In this case, "6HEMIST LAURIMAR" is almost certainly an OCR or formatting variant of "CHEMIST LAURIMAR" and refers to Chemist Discount Centre Laurimar, a Chemist Discount Centre pharmacy located at 126 Painted Hills Road, Doreen, VIC. The location line "DOREEN AUS" matches this store’s address.

What types of purchases typically generate a Chemist Discount Centre Laurimar charge?

Charges from Chemist Discount Centre Laurimar usually come from in‑store purchases such as PBS and private prescription medicines, over‑the‑counter medications, vitamins and supplements, personal care and beauty products, or pharmacy services like vaccinations and dose administration aids. If you recently filled a prescription or bought pharmacy items in Laurimar, that is likely the source of the charge.([ozmd.org](https://ozmd.org/pharmacy/chemist-discount-centre-laurimar?utm_source=openai))

Can Chemist Discount Centre Laurimar place small temporary or duplicate-looking charges on my card?

Like many retail pharmacies, Chemist Discount Centre Laurimar may trigger temporary authorisation holds when your card is first processed, especially for contactless payments or if a transaction is adjusted (for example, after applying concessions or loyalty discounts). These authorisation amounts may appear as separate pending charges but normally fall away within a few business days, leaving only the final settled amount.

How can I confirm what I bought at Chemist Discount Centre Laurimar for a specific charge?

First, check any printed till receipts, prescription labels, or Chemist Discount Centre loyalty/club card activity you have for the date of the transaction. If you can’t find a receipt, call the Laurimar pharmacy directly and provide the transaction date, the exact amount, and the last four digits of your card; staff can usually locate the sale in their point‑of‑sale system and tell you what was purchased.([doreen-vic.aussiestoresonline.com](https://doreen-vic.aussiestoresonline.com/chemist-discount-centre-laurimar/?utm_source=openai))

Does Chemist Discount Centre Laurimar run any ongoing or recurring billing that could explain repeat charges?
