Buy Ivermectin Online in Australia (2026 Guide)

Quick answer: Yes, Australians can legally buy ivermectin online for personal use with a valid prescription under the TGA Personal Importation Scheme. SafeRxPills ships WHO-GMP certified ivermectin tablets (Ivercor, Ivecop), creams (Iverheal, Ivrea), and combination formulations (Wormentel Duo) to all Australian states with discreet packaging and 7 to 14 day delivery.

Ivermectin sits in an unusual position in Australia. It is fully approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) for treating scabies, strongyloidiasis, and specific parasitic infections, and it is on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG). But it remains a Schedule 4 prescription-only medicine, and in 2021 the TGA restricted its GP prescribing to specialists for certain indications, which pushed many patients to seek personal-import options.

This page covers what Australians can legally buy, from where, at what price, and how to receive it discreetly. If you are researching regulatory background first, our detailed can you buy ivermectin over the counter in Australia and how to buy ivermectin in Australia safely and legally guides walk through the TGA rules in depth.

Is It Legal to Buy Ivermectin Online in Australia?

Yes, with important qualifications. Ivermectin is a prescription-only Schedule 4 medicine in Australia. To legally receive it, you need a valid prescription from a qualified medical practitioner. The TGA operates a Personal Importation Scheme which permits Australian residents to import prescription medicines for personal use, subject to these conditions:

The medicine is for you or someone in your immediate care
You have a valid prescription from an Australian-registered doctor
The quantity imported does not exceed a 3-month supply at maximum dose
The medicine is not on the Schedule 8 controlled substances list (ivermectin is not)
You do not intend to sell or supply it commercially

Under these conditions, personal import for legitimate medical use is permitted. Australia Post and courier services routinely clear such shipments through customs when the packaging identifies the contents as prescription medicine for personal use.

Ivermectin at Chemist Warehouse vs Online

Chemist Warehouse is Australia's largest pharmacy retailer and does stock ivermectin (Stromectol brand, 3mg tablets) for approved indications when presented with a valid prescription. However, in-store availability is inconsistent, prescribing has been restricted since 2021, and prices for private prescriptions can be steep. Our detailed comparison in ivermectin at Chemist Warehouse Australia covers when to use each channel, current PBS status, and out-of-pocket costs.

How to Take Ivermectin Safely

Ivermectin dosing is weight-based at 200 mcg per kg body weight for most adult indications, taken as a single dose on an empty stomach with water. For scabies, a second dose 7 to 14 days later completes the course. For strongyloidiasis, a single dose is often sufficient but repeat dosing may be advised for immunocompromised patients.

Common considerations:

Take on an empty stomach. Food increases absorption significantly (up to 2.5x), which is not always desirable and complicates precise dosing.
Avoid alcohol during the treatment period. Both compounds are hepatically metabolized and combining them stresses the liver.
Do not use if pregnant. Ivermectin is Australia Category B3 in pregnancy, and use should be limited to circumstances where the benefit clearly outweighs risk.
Weight below 15 kg is a contraindication for standard oral dosing. Children require specialist supervision.

What About Ivermectin from Farm Suppliers or Horse Paste?

Do not use veterinary ivermectin products, including horse paste or livestock injectables, for human consumption. The active ingredient is the same but the excipients, concentration, and quality controls are not designed for human use. Our detailed article on ivermectin horse paste for humans and why ivermectin paste is not the right choice for human treatment explain the risks and outline the correct human-formulation alternatives.
