About

Our story

The pharmacy queue problem.

Cannterstarted with a simple observation: the hardest part of managing a long-term condition often isn’t the clinical treatment — it’s the logistics of staying supplied. Missed repeats, closed pharmacies, unreliable delivery options, and no good answer for controlled medications.

We built Cannter to sit between patients and their trusted local pharmacy, taking the administrative and delivery load off both of them. Pharmacists stay focused on dispensing. Patients get their scripts filled and delivered. We handle everything in between, with Western Australian Schedule 8 compliance baked into every step.

We’re based in Perth, operate under MedEx, and share cold-chain delivery infrastructure with our sister service, Tydal. We serve seven Perth metro zones and partner with Green Street Dispensary and Plant Pharm — with more pharmacies coming on board.

The founder

A Perth founder, partnered with Perth pharmacies.

“I started Cannter because the way Schedule 8 medication currently moves around Perth is held together with phone calls, paper, and luck. We’re fixing that — with the pharmacies that already do it best.”

What we believe

Three principles.

  1. 01

    Pharmacies, not around them.

    We work through pharmacies, not against them. The patient-pharmacist relationship is worth keeping.

  2. 02

    Compliance first, speed second.

    Schedule 8 compliance isn't optional. We designed the product around the rules, then optimised for speed.

  3. 03

    Quiet, reliable service.

    Healthcare logistics shouldn't be a brand experience. Show up on time, handle the medication properly, get out of the way.

The team

Small team. High standards.

Cannter is run by a small group in Perth who care about one thing: getting medication to patients reliably. No layers, no middlemen — you’ll speak to the person building the thing.
