David Thiu is a pharmacist based in Walgett, NSW. You can find him at 48 Fox Street, Walgett NSW 2832. He helps locals with everyday medicine needs, from picking up prescriptions to making sense of what to take and when.
David’s work is mainly about safe, practical medicine support. That can mean prescription refills when you’re short on time, or it might be a quick chat about side effects, timing, and how to use a medicine properly. In many cases, a little guidance can make things easier at home.
Medication counselling is a big part of the role. David looks after the “what does this mean for me?” side of things, like how to take over-the-counter options and what to watch for. He can also help when you’re not sure which product fits your symptoms, for example choosing a suitable pain relief option or a pharmacy product that matches what you’re dealing with.
Along with prescriptions and advice, he offers health screenings. These checks help spot issues early, so people can get the right support sooner. David also supports immunisations, which is important for staying protected and for keeping communities healthier.
People come to the pharmacy with all sorts of needs. At times it’s about managing a regular medicine routine, and at other times it’s about trying something new for a short-term problem. David keeps conversations clear and calm, and he works through questions step by step.
David works in a way that suits the local community. He speaks English and Cambodian, which can be really helpful for people who want to feel comfortable asking questions in plain language.
If you’re in Walgett and need help with prescription refills, medicine advice, over-the-counter recommendations, health screenings, or immunisations, David Thiu is there to help out.
