Residents in Aged Residential Care facilities are eligible to use the service. A key component of this service is delivery of prescribed medicines to facilities.

A ‘reasonable interpretation’ of the Age Related Residential Care Service Specifications has been created to support you work with GPs and ARRC facilities to provide pharmacy services. It provides guidance to help you understand what services you are and are not funded to provide and what is realistically expected of you. Contact your Portfolio Manager for more information.
