My go to!

“It is always a pleasure to go to Manly Unichem, Tania and Thilina run a great team. Whether for my regular medications, extras from specialists, hospice etc. the pharmacists go the extra mile and always with a friendly but professional attitude. [...] Their extra services make things like COVID and Flu vaxes simple with reminders by text and not having to go to the medical centre among sick people. For the 34 years of living here and being 90 this month, Manly Pharmacy has been my “go to” for any health needs not requiring a doctor.”
