Secure Schedule 8 and 9 drug storage in Australia

Compliant, temperature-controlled pharmaceutical warehousing and distribution for Schedule 8 and Schedule 9 medicines, with vaulted security, dual-person access and Victorian Department of Health approval.

From our purpose-built Melbourne facility, HL Pharma provides secure, temperature-controlled pharmaceutical warehousing and distribution for controlled medicines for Australian and overseas clients. High-security vaults, access-controlled drug rooms, CCTV, and monitored alarms sit alongside validated, temperature-controlled environments to protect product integrity and meet Victorian Department of Health and TGA expectations.

For domestic and international manufacturers, sponsors, wholesalers and healthcare providers, HL Pharma acts as a secure local depot for Schedule 8 and Schedule 9 medicines. Our client portal provides real-time visibility of inventory, batch and expiry data, storage locations, temperature logs and audit history, so controlled drug stock held in Australia is fully traceable and inspection-ready for internal quality reviews and external audits.
