As fuel costs continue to rise across Australia, concerns are mounting that the impact is reaching far beyond the petrol pump — and into frontline healthcare.

Community pharmacies are warning that patient care is already being disrupted, with delayed medicine deliveries, reduced home visits, and growing pressure on services that vulnerable Australians rely on most.

Joining Brent is Mark Naunton, National President of the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia, to unpack what’s really happening on the ground, who is most at risk, and whether the system can adapt quickly enough to prevent further strain.

The discussion explores how fuel pressures are reshaping access to care, the growing reliance on telehealth, and what urgent steps may be needed to protect patients across the country.
