Broadbeach Pharmacy & Chemist Guide
Where to find a pharmacy in Broadbeach — hours, locations, and what to do if you need a chemist after hours.
Every visitor to Broadbeach eventually needs a chemist — for sunscreen, after-sun lotion, medications, or something more urgent. The good news is that Broadbeach has multiple pharmacy options within the suburb, and the nearest major centre (Pacific Fair) adds further options a short walk away.

After Hours Pharmacy Options
Broadbeach does not have a 24-hour pharmacy. For after-hours needs:
**Chemist Warehouse Pacific Fair** (open until 9pm weekdays, 8pm weekends) is the best option for evening pharmacy needs within easy reach of Broadbeach.
**Coles and Woolworths** in Broadbeach carry a limited range of OTC medications (paracetamol, ibuprofen, antihistamines, cold and flu products, basic first aid) and are open late — Woolworths in Oasis Shopping Centre is open until 9pm daily. Not a pharmacy, but covers basic needs.
**After 9pm urgent needs**: If you need a pharmacist after hours for an urgent medication need, the closest 24-hour pharmacy option is typically Chemist Warehouse at Robina Town Centre (15 min drive) or at Nerang. Call ahead to confirm current hours.
**Medical emergency**: For genuine medical emergencies, Gold Coast University Hospital Emergency Department is 20 minutes north at Southport. The Broadbeach Medical Centre on Oracle Boulevard handles urgent care during business hours.
Visitor Pharmacy Tips
Sunscreen is expensive to pack (liquids restrictions, weight) and cheap in Broadbeach. Chemist Warehouse Pacific Fair has the best prices on SPF 50+ sunscreen — stock up on arrival for the week. Queensland UV regularly exceeds 11 (extreme) in summer and SPF 50+ is non-negotiable.
If you’re on prescription medication, bring your original packaging and an authorised prescription copy. Australian pharmacists can dispense a limited emergency supply of some medications without a local prescription, but having your home country documentation makes this much easier.
Bluebottle jellyfish occasionally wash in on Gold Coast beaches. Treatment is hot water immersion (as hot as tolerable) rather than vinegar. Pharmacies stock hydrocortisone cream for itching after the sting has been treated. The beach lifeguards will have treatment supplies on-site.
For illness that needs assessment rather than just a pharmacy product, the Broadbeach Medical Centre on Oracle Boulevard handles walk-in appointments. Bulk billing may be available for Australian Medicare card holders. See the separate Broadbeach Medical guide for full details.
