To the Honourable The Speaker and Members of the House of Representatives

This petition of the Citizens of New South Wales and Citizens of all other States and Territories in Australia draws to the attention of the House that the domestic travelling and working community of Sydney Domestic Airport, does not have reasonable access to the supply of Pharmaceutical Benefits by an approved pharmacist at the Sydney Domestic Airport. Airport Guardian Pharmacy which is located at Sydney Domestic Terminal 2 has operated as a Non-PBS Pharmacy since December 2006 and has cared for this Community of over 12 million people annually, despite not being able to provide medicines which are subsidised by the Commonwealth Government. A Section 90 approval has been denied to this pharmacy twice, due to the current pharmacy location rules criteria.

We therefore ask the House to give the domestic travelling and working Community of Sydney Domestic Airport reasonable access to the supply of Pharmaceutical Benefits by requesting that the Minister for Health exercise Ministerial Discretion so as to provide a Section 90 approval to Airport Guardian. Pharmacy, Sydney Domestic, Terminal 2.
