Half of all Australian women will experience a urinary tract infection in their lifetime.
And we know UTIs make up a significant number of non-urgent presentations to Queensland’s Emergency Departments.
But most UTIs can be resolved if diagnosed and treated early.
That’s why we made a big change: allowing trained community pharmacists to provide you with immediate advice and treatment for an uncomplicated UTI.
It means you don’t have to suffer painful symptoms while waiting for a GP appointment.
And by treating the common condition early, you're much less likely to experience further complications – taking pressure off hospitals and emergency departments.
