Anyone who’s hunted for a pharmacy in Hervey Bay has probably spotted the bright yellow Chemist Warehouse signs in two places—one in Pialba and another right at the airport. The catch: they don’t share the same hours, phone number, or even the same street address. This guide breaks down exactly what each branch offers, so you know which one to visit before you leave the house.

4What’s next

A closer look at the two Chemist Warehouse branches in Hervey Bay reveals a clear pattern: the Pialba store is the bigger, earlier-opening location, while the Airport store serves travellers and Urangan residents with shorter weekend hours.

Feature Pialba (Urraween) Airport (Urangan)
Address Shop 1, 97-99 Main Street, URRAWEEN QLD 4655 (Healthdirect – Australian Government health service directory) 1, 1 William Dean Avenue, URANGAN QLD 4655 (Healthdirect)
Phone 07 4124 2477 (Healthdirect) 07 4124 9130 (Healthdirect)
Weekday hours 7:00 AM – 9:00 PM (Healthdirect) 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM (Healthdirect)
Saturday hours 7:00 AM – 7:00 PM (Healthdirect) 8:30 AM – 4:00 PM (Healthdirect)
Sunday hours 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM (Healthdirect) 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM (Healthdirect)
Services listed Blood Pressure Monitoring, Equipment Hire, Medscheck, NDSS, Easyscript (Healthdirect) Not individually listed – likely similar (Healthdirect)

The implication: the Pialba branch is the clear choice if you need early-morning or late-evening access, while the Airport store is a daytime convenience for travellers. If you rely on specific services like NDSS or Medscheck, call the Airport store first.

Why this matters

A traveller arriving at Hervey Bay Airport after 6:00 PM on a weekday will find the Airport pharmacy already closed. The Pialba store, open until 9:00 PM, becomes the only option — a 15-minute drive from the terminal.

What are the opening hours of Chemist Warehouse Hervey Bay?

Chemist Warehouse Pialba opening hours

  • Weekdays: 7:00 AM – 9:00 PM (Healthdirect – Australian Government health service directory)
  • Saturday: 7:00 AM – 7:00 PM (Healthdirect)
  • Sunday: 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM (Healthdirect)

Chemist Warehouse Airport opening hours

  • Weekdays: 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM (Healthdirect – Australian Government health service directory)
  • Saturday: 8:30 AM – 4:00 PM (Healthdirect)
  • Sunday: 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM (Healthdirect)
Bottom line: Pialba opens 1–1.5 hours earlier and closes 3 hours later than the Airport branch every weekday. Sunday shoppers have the biggest gap: the Airport store shuts at 1 PM, while Pialba stays open until 6 PM. If you need a pharmacy after 6 PM on any day, head to Pialba.

Where are the Chemist Warehouse locations in Hervey Bay?

Chemist Warehouse Pialba (Main Street)

  • Address: Shop 1, 97-99 Main Street, URRAWEEN QLD 4655 (Healthdirect – Australian Government health service directory)
  • Note: Pialba is the central suburb of Hervey Bay; the store is near the corner of Main Street and Hunter Street.
  • Phone: 07 4124 2477

  • Phone: 07 4124 9130

Two branches, two suburbs: Pialba sits in the commercial heart of Hervey Bay, while the Airport store is about 8 km east in Urangan, just off the terminal. For most residents in Torquay or Scarness, Pialba is the closer option.

What services does Chemist Warehouse Hervey Bay offer?

Both branches are registered pharmacies with Healthdirect Australia, but only the Pialba listing explicitly lists its service menu.

Blood Pressure Monitoring

  • Free or low-cost in-store blood pressure checks. Available at the Pialba branch (Healthdirect – Australian Government health directory).

Equipment Hire

  • Short-term rental of mobility aids, crutches, and medical equipment. Listed for Pialba (Healthdirect – Australian Government health directory).

Medscheck

  • Free medication review service for eligible Australians. Listed for Pialba (Healthdirect – Australian Government health directory).

  • Access to NDSS products and support. Listed for Pialba (Healthdirect – Australian Government health directory).

Easyscript

  • Online prescription ordering and home delivery. Listed for Pialba (Healthdirect – Australian Government health directory).
The catch

Healthdirect’s Airport listing does not include a separate services tab. It is likely the Airport branch offers the same core services, but this has not been confirmed. If Medscheck or Equipment Hire are critical, call 07 4124 9130 first.

For a quick overview of what each service offers, here is a breakdown of the confirmed services at the Pialba branch:

Service Description Availability at Pialba
Blood Pressure Monitoring Free in-store blood pressure checks Yes (Healthdirect – Australian Government health directory)
Equipment Hire Short-term rental of crutches, wheelchairs, etc. Yes (Healthdirect – Australian Government health directory)
Medscheck Medication review for eligible patients Yes (Healthdirect – Australian Government health directory)

Easyscript Online prescription refills and delivery Yes (Healthdirect – Australian Government health directory)
Prescription Dispensing Standard pharmacy service Yes (assumed)

Bottom line: The pattern: the Pialba store’s service menu is well-documented, while the Airport branch’s capabilities remain unconfirmed. If you need a specific service, call the Airport store directly.
