What people get wrong
Phone (03) 9687 2547, fax (03) 9687 4037, email tran.pharmacy@nunet.com.au. Not Chemist Warehouse. Not TerryWhite. The rear lane also reads Trans Pharmacy and Phong Mach. We last walked this on 2026-09-21. Hours move with the week. Checking the shopfront keeps the night easy.
What is Tran Pharmacy known for?
Tran Pharmacy is known as the Nicholson till: Vietnamese and English, OPEN 7 DAYS on the fascia, a Sunday clock that still fights itself, a chemist that is not the restaurant at 73.
You walk Nicholson into Little Saigon to 73B. The awning prints TRAN PHARMACY and Nha Thuoc Tay Tran. Inside it is scripts, over-the-counter, eScripts, the pharmacist advice a mixed-billing card still names. Bulk bill available with conditions. Fees may apply. Ask at the counter. Concession and DVA are till questions. Phone (03) 9687 2547. Fax (03) 9687 4037. Email tran.pharmacy@nunet.com.au. MedAdvisor sits on the healthdirect card if you wanted an app path. That is the door, not Tan Thanh Loi at 73 and not the rear Phong Mach medical room.
This is not Chemist Warehouse at 190 Barkly. This is not TerryWhite at 132-134 Hopkins. This is not Green Valley. This is not Millennium in the plaza. This is not ED. A script from Sunshine can still fill here if the pharmacist can read it. A script from the hospital campus may have a campus pharmacy. Ask before you leave that foyer and walk Nicholson in the rain.
You came because you were already on Nicholson with a script, and because Barkly felt like a different suburb in the rain. A parent who treated a Finder Sunday 3pm widget as gospel, then arrived at 3:30, is how an afternoon dies. healthdirect still prints 4pm Sunday. Finder still prints 3pm. Call first. Confirm the glass. The TRAN PHARMACY fascia is the tell. Do not invent a wait from the takeaway queue at 73. Those are different doors.
What should you bring to Tran Pharmacy?
You should bring the script, then a concession card if you have one, then the phone that can take (03) 9687 2547 if Sunday is the job.
No appointment for a retail fill. If you needed a published late chemist, Barkly still prints later on healthdirect. If you needed a GP, Leeds or the plaza. If you needed the rear medical clinic, that is a different tenant with its own phone on the rear glass. If you needed ED, Geelong Road. If you needed TerryWhite, Hopkins. If you needed Phuoc Thinh, that butcher is reserved and not this till. Keep the chemist job on 73B.
Stay long enough to match 73B to the chemist glass. 73 is the restaurant. The rear lane also reads Trans Pharmacy and Phong Mach. Do not queue at the roller for the wrong tenant. Street parking is messy. Byron Lane is the Little Saigon car story if you already knew it. After dark, leave via Barkly or Hopkins rather than lingering on Nicholson Mall.
Bring the original script. A photo is a pharmacist decision. PBS and private scripts take the time they take. This is not triage. A chest-pain story belongs on Geelong Road, not in this queue. If the person next to you looks like they should not be standing, that is 000, not a queue courtesy.
Hours, tickets and queues at Tran Pharmacy
Quoted hours from healthdirect: Monday to Friday 9am to 7pm, Saturday 9am to 6pm, Sunday 10am to 4pm. Pharmacy Finder printed shorter days, including Sunday 10am to 3pm. Call (03) 9687 2547. Last checked 2026-09-21. Glance at the door.
OPEN 7 DAYS on the fascia is not a clock. Public holidays shuffle. We refuse to pick the Sunday close. Cite the glass. Mixed billing is a till question. This is not ED. The chain on Barkly will sell you a thermometer. This till will too. Neither is triage.
We added the phone in an earlier rewrite. Directories had it. The leftover empty phone field is gone. Use (03) 9687 2547. Do not invent a wait from the pho line further along Nicholson.
How do you get to Tran Pharmacy in Footscray?
You get to Tran Pharmacy by walking from Footscray station to Nicholson, Little Saigon strip, to 73B, a chemist, not 73 and not Barkly.
Street parking is messy. Byron Lane if you already knew the Little Saigon car story. After dark Nicholson Mall is the cut people skip. Leave via Barkly or Hopkins. This chemist sits on the lit strip. A cheap vitamin run is not a reason to invent a river shortcut at 6:50pm when the weekday card is already dying toward 7.
If you wanted Chemist Warehouse, turn to 190 Barkly. If you wanted TerryWhite, Hopkins. If you wanted a plaza GP, Millennium. If you wanted ED, 20 Geelong Road. This listing is 73B. Confirm TRAN PHARMACY on the awning. Walk Nicholson if the bag is the job. Drive Geelong Road if the chest is the job. Do not mash them because both say Footscray.
What do people mix up about Tran Pharmacy?
They walk into Tan Thanh Loi, or they queue at the rear Phong Mach glass, or they trust a Finder Sunday widget, and they miss a Little Saigon chemist that still wants 73B and a look at the door.
