Home Medication Reviews (HMR)
A Home Medication Review is a GP-referred, fully funded service for Medicare card holders, designed to improve the safety and effectiveness of your medications and overall health management.
The review is conducted in your home, where all medications, medical history, and relevant lifestyle factors can be considered together, including how medicines are taken and how they fit into your daily routine.
The aim is not just to check medications, but to identify opportunities to simplify treatment, reduce risk, improve symptom control, and better align care with your needs and preferences.
Following the visit, a report is provided to your GP with recommendations, which may include medication adjustments, deprescribing, referrals, or practical strategies to support ongoing health management.
