General Practitioners And GP Clinics

Simple, Secure Referrals — Stronger Patient Outcomes

DMMR Partners supports GPs with coordinated DMMR / HMR services delivered by accredited pharmacists — helping reduce medication risk, improve patient understanding, and strengthen continuity of care.

Home Medicines Reviews for General Practitioners

A Home Medicines Review (HMR / DMMR) supports patients who may be at risk of medication-related problems due to polypharmacy, complex treatment plans, recent hospital discharge, or difficulty managing and organising their medicines safely and consistently at home.

Working collaboratively with GPs, accredited pharmacists complete a structured, patient-centred review to improve medication safety, understanding, adherence and treatment outcomes — helping to prevent avoidable complications and support coordinated, high-quality care.

How the DMMR / HMR Referral Process Works

Step 1

GP Identifies an Eligible Patient

The GP assesses patients who may benefit from a medication review — such as those taking multiple medicines, recently discharged from hospital, or experiencing side-effects, adherence issues, or treatment concerns.

Step 2

Referral Submitted via Secure Platform

The GP completes a DMMR / HMR referral online. Patient details and clinical information are provided securely, ensuring the pharmacist receives all relevant background for assessment.

Step 3

Accredited Pharmacist Conducts Review

An accredited clinical pharmacist arranges a private consultation with the patient, reviews all medicines, storage, adherence, and safety risks, and provides practical education and recommendations.

Step 4

Report And Medication Management Plan Returned to GP

The pharmacist’s clinical report is sent back to the GP, who reviews the findings with the patient and updates the treatment plan where required.

Step 5

Follow-Up And Medicare Billing

The GP recalls the patient to discuss outcomes and bills MBS Item 900. Ongoing communication between the GP and pharmacist supports continuity of care.
