The Green Dispensary is a unique concept in pharmaceuticals as it is not averse to providing and…read moreinforming to its customers about alternative natural medications. The majority of all other chemists stock a minimal amount of vitamins and minerals and the staff don't have much knowledge to advise you about which is the best one for you, whereas The Green Dispensary does. Not only that but they are also a compounding pharmacy meaning they can concoct a medication suited to your requirements, a bit like a witches brew service...how cool is that! They also endeavour to be chemical free where possible and all of their hair and body range is free of harmful ingredients, so if you're allergic to non natural chemicals they can advise you which is best for your condition and won't harm you. There are some people so sensitive to chemicals in products they can easily land in hospital, much like people with nut allergies. Cheap chemical bulking agents, SLS and other non natural ingredients are contained in 99.9% of everything we buy for our bodies, even toothpaste, very scary that the 20th century is slowing killing us before our time should be up. In a nut shell they work hand in hand with western conventional medicine and complimentary medicine, having a wholisitc approach to medicine and it's in their best interests to keep you informed and healthy, so it's in your best interest to look out for yourself also. Education is key to gaining knowledge and researching the benefits of complimentary medicine, so don't poo poo it before giving it a try. The Green Pharmacy is a fresh and inviting open space with friendly and definitely helpful staff, short of going to a natropath, this is the inbetween stop to make.

Out the front on either side of the doorway are items for sale like bags, perfumes, wall plaques and all sorts of things which change on a regular basis. They stock Clinique products, Revlon and a few other well known brands plus Sukin which I'm a big fan of at the moment as it's natural. The gifts are beautiful and are secluded to the side of the counter, a perfect location to browse whilst the script is being filled. A varied collection of items at standard gift shop prices but they do sometimes end up on the sale items table out front. The staff have always been friendly and helpful with recommendations. As a note, if you have the Entertainment book you'll receive twenty percent off the retail price, which is a bonus.

Although not as big as the other chemist I've been too, they do stock a great variety of things from nappies, formula, medical slings, to health and beauty products and more.

Whilst they finally found their resting place amidst the new building taking shape, they will soon be joined by other tenants with the likes of Dan Murphy's, Target, Domino's, Sakura Sushi and Australia Post.
