Aspley Day & Night Pharmacy

What Aspley Day & Night Pharmacy does

Aspley Day & Night Pharmacy (legal entity: Chemsure Pty Ltd) is an independent community pharmacy operating from a single storefront at 1368 Gympie Road, Aspley, Queensland, Australia. Founded in 1999, it employs approximately 12 staff, including three pharmacist partners (Nick Pearson, Ben Kelland, and Rose) with over 40 years of combined experience, and operates 365 days per year from 7am to 11pm — a positioning that captures prescription and OTC demand when competing pharmacies are closed. The pharmacy is organized around six primary revenue streams: prescription dispensing, over-the-counter retail, compounding pharmacy services (custom medications for pediatric, dermatology, BHRT, veterinary, and out-of-stock indications), a sleep apnoea program (home-based sleep studies using the Philips Alice Night One device with specialist analysis by Dr Donald Lee plus CPAP equipment sales and hire), MedPak dose-pouch medication packing integrated with the MedAdvisor digital medication management app, chronic pain management consultations, and NDSS-subsidised diabetes supplies. Equipment hire — including CPAP machines ($199/month), CPAP masks ($40/week), Medela Symphony breast pumps ($100–120/month), crutches, wheelchairs, and nebulizers — creates a recurring subscription-style revenue layer atop the transactional base.

The business runs a hybrid go-to-market combining physical walk-in retail with an e-commerce storefront (own site) shipping CPAP, battery, and mobility products nationally. Distribution is supported by an allied-health referral network including Specific Physiotherapy, PJS Orthopaedics, Malvern Smile & Dental, and Heal Dental Care, plus the core clinical partnership with Dr Donald Lee of Nepean Lung and Sleep. Marketing is predominantly local: SEO-optimized health blog content, an active Facebook page, email subscription, and community health events. Payments are processed via standard gateways (PayPal, Certegy), and the MedAdvisor app provides prescription refill, reminders, and pharmacist chat. The operating model — long hours, multi-vertical clinical services, and compounding capability — is the explicit competitive stance versus conventional chain pharmacies, but the business remains a single-site, privately held partnership with no disclosed revenue, funding events, or external investors in the source material.

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• CPAP Direct: Australian specialty sleep apnoea retailer offering home sleep studies, CPAP machines, masks, and hire. Closest direct competitor to Aspley's Sleep Apnoea Program, particularly for online/CPAP equipment sales.
• Terry White Chemmart: National Australian community pharmacy chain with compounding, sleep, and medication management services that compete for the same walk-in prescription and OTC customer base. Most directly comparable franchise/chain peer in Australia.
• Blooms The Chemist: Australian community pharmacy chain with professional services focus (sleep health, compounding, vaccinations). Comparable positioning as a service-oriented community pharmacy competing for similar demographics.
• National Custom Compounding: Australian specialty compounding pharmacy producing custom medications including BHRT, paediatric, and dermatology preparations — directly comparable to Aspley's compounding service range.

Others

• Resmed: Global CPAP device manufacturer whose AirSense 10 line accounts for a significant share of Aspley's hardware inventory. Supplier rather than competitor, but a critical ecosystem dependency for the sleep program.

Regional players

• Apria Healthcare: US-based home medical equipment and sleep therapy provider operating in a comparable specialty respiratory/sleep category, though serving a different (US) geography and operating at much larger scale.
• Lincare: Large US home respiratory and medical equipment provider with comparable sleep therapy, oxygen, and home-health services portfolio. Comparable business model, but operating in a different geography and at larger scale.

Broad incumbents

• Chemist Warehouse: Australia's largest discount pharmacy chain, dominant on price for OTC and prescription dispensing. Sets the competitive price floor across Brisbane and is the primary margin pressure on independents like Aspley.
• Priceline Pharmacy: National pharmacy chain positioned around health, beauty, and pharmacy services. Competes with Aspley on convenience, hours, and over-the-counter assortment in Brisbane catchments.

Emerging players

• Pharmacy Smart: Australian compounding and natural medicine pharmacy with online reach, offering custom formulations and complementary services. Niche/emerging competitor to Aspley's compounding and nutraceutical categories.
