What is a Home Medicines Review?

Do you take any medications, vitamins, supplements,

herbal remedies or other medicines prescribed over the counter?


Did you know that even certain doses of vitamins and certain combinations may be harmful to you?


Did you ever ask yourself how they work together? Are there any combinations that are harmful? Is one drug able to enhance another that can lead to unwanted side-effects? Or in some cases, is one drug able to weaken another and thereby, reduce its effectiveness?

Each year, 230,000 patients are admitted to hospitals from adverse medical events. That’s 6% of all hospitalisations nationwide. At least 50% of these could have been avoided through better medication management.

Each year, 230,000 patients are admitted to hospitals from adverse medical events. That’s 6% of all hospitalisations nationwide. At least 50% of these could have been avoided through better medication management.

The Home Medicines Review was introduced in 2001 into the Australian Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS). In 2020, it was then later extended to include two-follow-up services for patients who have had an initial home medicines review conducted by an accredited pharmacist.


The HMR program intends to support the quality use of medicines by finding and addressing medication-related problems that can potentially affect a patient’s quality of life and even lead to hospitalisations.


By providing home medicines review, an accredited pharmacist can help people better understand and manage their medicines which, can minimise unwanted adverse medicine events, and improve their quality of life.


The Home Medicines Review will assist you in learning about medicines and how they function. You will become an active participant in the decisions that support your healthcare plan created by your GP and pharmacist.

Don’t risk a ride to the hospital that should have been prevented. To help you control your healthcare, stop dosing in the dark and let Medicosurveillance organise a Home Medicines Review for you!

Am I Eligible?

Step 1: Eligible Patients and Doctor Referral

Before your HMR

The pharmacist sets up a convenient time to meet with you. During the meeting, they will answer any questions you may have while guiding how and when to take your prescriptions.
