Ramsay Pharmacy launches new discount offer to make health care more affordable

January 24, 2023

Ramsay Pharmacy is making health care more affordable for even more Australians, announcing a new discount offer available in all of its franchised community pharmacies nationwide.

The new discount program offers a five per cent discount in store for HCF members who sign up to the better rewards program*.

Ramsay Pharmacy CEO, Greg Kennedy, said Ramsay is committed to making quality health care more accessible and affordable for Australians. 

“We are pleased to announce that HCF members who join the better rewards program will get a five per cent discount on eligible products at any of our pharmacies throughout Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria,” Mr Kennedy said. 

“This discount will allow many Australians to access more affordable health and medical supplies including discounted over-the-counter basic pain relief, vitamins and probiotics, first aid and a large range of independent living aids. 

“The better rewards program is easy and free to join, and better rewards members get access to exclusive promotions, competitions and earn points towards rewards^.

“While instore our pharmacists can offer expert advice on medication management, vaccination services and all other health care needs.”

“We’re pleased to partner with HCF to make health care more affordable for many Australians.”

The discount will be available at all Ramsay and Malouf Pharmacies from 30 January 2023. 

The offer comes six months after the two organisations announced they had reached a five year Hospital Purchaser Provider Agreement, the first of its kind in Australia.    

Ramsay Connect CEO, Ian Galvin, said HCF members can now benefit further, with Ramsay and HCF reaching a new agreement allowing more patients to receive rehabilitation care in the comfort of their own home.  

“The new agreement will allow a broad range of patients who’ve had medical or surgical admissions to hospital to complete their rehabilitation or reconditioning at home,” Mr Galvin said. 

“We send our specialist care teams to you, instead of you coming to us. As well as being more convenient for patients, it allows them to be in a familiar environment, surrounded by loved ones, while working on their recovery.”
