About Inform Pharmacy

Inform Pharmacy (also known as Inform Compounding Pharmacy) is an independent, full-service community and compounding pharmacy based in Neutral Bay, New South Wales, Australia. They dispense standard Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) and private prescriptions, prepare customised compounded medications (such as bioidentical hormones, paediatric doses, dermatology preparations, and veterinary medicines), and stock a range of over-the-counter medicines, supplements, and health products. Inform Pharmacy also offers professional services like medication reviews, vaccination services (including flu and common travel vaccines), dose administration aids/blister packs, and personalised advice from registered pharmacists. More details about their services and opening hours are available at informcompoundingpharmacy.com.au.

A charge from Inform Pharmacy may appear on your bank or card statement when you pay for prescription medications (PBS or private), compounded medicines, over-the-counter products, vaccination services, or professional pharmacy consultations. Charges can be one-off purchases made in-store, phone or email orders that are processed later, or payments for prescriptions placed on file and filled regularly (e.g., recurring compounded prescriptions or monthly blister packs). If you’ve provided your card details for ongoing compounding or repeat prescriptions, you may see recurring charges that align with your refill schedule; you might also see pre-authorisation amounts if they temporarily verify your card over the phone before finalising a compounded order.

To verify an Inform Pharmacy charge, check your recent prescriptions, compounding orders, vaccination visits, or medication deliveries around the date of the transaction, and look for receipts emailed or provided in-store. If you still have questions, contact Inform Pharmacy directly using the phone number or email listed on informcompoundingpharmacy.com.au or on your prescription label; provide your full name, date of birth, and the exact amount/date of the charge so they can match it to their dispensing records. Common billing issues—such as confusion between PBS vs private pricing, multiple items on a single script, or a compounded item prepared after an initial quote—are typically resolved by reviewing the detailed tax invoice. If you suspect an error, ask for an itemised statement; if you do not recognise the transaction at all, speak with Inform Pharmacy first and then contact your bank’s dispute team if it remains unresolved.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did Inform Pharmacy charge me when I only remember dropping off a prescription?

Inform Pharmacy may dispense your medicine after you drop off or email a prescription, then process payment when the item is collected, delivered, or posted. If you’ve arranged phone or email orders, they might store your card details securely and charge it once the prescription is prepared or shipped. Check whether a family member or carer collected your medicines on your behalf around the charge date.

What typical amounts might I see from Inform Pharmacy on my bank statement?

Common Inform Pharmacy charges include PBS co-payments (often in the approximate range of AUD $7–$8 for concession and AUD $30–$32 for general patients, subject to current government rates) and private prescription prices, which can be higher depending on the medication. Compounded medications vary widely in cost, but many customised preparations fall anywhere from about AUD $40 to over $150 per item depending on ingredients and complexity. Your receipt or tax invoice will list the exact price for each item dispensed.

Can Inform Pharmacy charge me on a recurring basis for my medications?

Yes, if you’ve arranged regular dispensing—such as monthly blister packs, hormone therapy compounds, or ongoing chronic medication refills—Inform Pharmacy may process charges on a recurring schedule as each script is filled. These are not a “subscription” in the streaming sense, but repeat prescription or compounding charges that correspond to each supply. You can ask the pharmacy to change how and when your card is charged, or to require in-person payment instead.

How do I cancel or pause recurring prescriptions or compounded orders with Inform Pharmacy?

To stop or pause ongoing supplies, contact Inform Pharmacy directly by phone or email (details are on informcompoundingpharmacy.com.au and on your labels). Provide your name, date of birth, and the specific medication you want to pause or cancel, and ask them to update your profile so no further repeats are prepared automatically. If your doctor has issued repeats but you don’t wish to continue, you can simply decline further refills or ask the pharmacy to stop holding the prescription for automatic dispensing.

How do I get a copy of my receipt or tax invoice for an Inform Pharmacy charge?

Inform Pharmacy can usually reprint or email a tax invoice for any recent transaction if you provide your name, approximate date of purchase, and the amount that appears on your bank statement. You can request this in-store, by phone, or via their website contact form. The invoice will list each item dispensed, PBS/private status, and GST where applicable, which can help you verify the charge or claim on private health insurance.

What should I do if I think I was overcharged or charged twice by Inform Pharmacy?

First, compare your bank statement with any paper or emailed receipts to see whether two separate visits or prescriptions occurred on similar dates. If you still believe there’s an overcharge or duplicate payment, contact Inform Pharmacy with the exact dates, amounts, and the last four digits of the card used so they can review their point-of-sale and dispensing records. If an error is confirmed, they can process a correction or refund back to your original payment method in line with their refund policy and Australian pharmacy regulations.

Does Inform Pharmacy place temporary authorisation holds or small test charges on my card?

If you provide your card details over the phone or for mail order/compounding, Inform Pharmacy may process a pre-authorisation to confirm the card is valid before preparing your medication, especially for higher-value compounded items. This may appear as a pending amount or a small temporary hold on your statement and should drop off automatically once the final charge is processed or the authorisation expires. If a pending amount remains for more than several business days, check with your bank and then contact Inform Pharmacy if needed.

How do refunds and returns work for prescriptions and compounded medicines from Inform Pharmacy?

Due to Australian law and safety regulations, pharmacies generally cannot accept returns of dispensed prescription or compounded medicines for refund unless there has been a dispensing error or the product is faulty. If you believe you received the wrong item, strength, or instructions, contact Inform Pharmacy immediately so a pharmacist can review and, if necessary, arrange a replacement or refund. For non-prescription retail items (e.g., some over-the-counter products), standard consumer return policies may apply; bring your receipt or tax invoice for assessment.
