Queenslanders will be able to get a range of medicines, including the contraceptive pill, without having to visit a doctor under an Australia-first statewide trial.
The pilot program, which allows pharmacists to prescribe medicine for "common health conditions" and administer a wider range of vaccines than previously, was initially planned to run only in the state's north.
But Health Minister Shannon Fentiman announced today that the trial would now cover all of Queensland.

In addition to the wider range of vaccines, pharmacists who join the trial will be able to prescribe a range of medications, including:
Fentiman said the Australia-first trial, which comes on the back of a similar pilot allowing pharmacists to prescribe treatment for urinary tract infections, would help address medical staff shortages and distribution issues, but insisted there was no intention of replacing existing services.
"This nation-first pharmacy pilot is an innovative way to ensure Queenslanders have access to high-quality and cost-effective primary healthcare," she said.

"I want all Queenslanders to benefit from innovative models of healthcare, which is why we are expanding this pilot state-wide.
"The UTI Pharmacy Pilot and international evidence shows that allowing pharmacists to prescribe for common conditions is a safe and efficient way to improve health outcomes.
"Pharmacists are highly trained and regulated healthcare professionals, and this pilot will ensure their expertise is used to its full scope.
"Pharmacy prescribing models of care are used effectively in other countries, including the United Kingdom, Canada and New Zealand.
"This will also help address the impacts of workforce shortages and distribution problems, particularly in regional and rural communities."
The expansion of the trial has been supported by both the Pharmacy Guild and the Pharmaceutical Society.
The pilot will begin seeking pharmacists this year before it rolls out over 2024 and 2025.
Any pharmacists who take part in the trial are required to undergo extra training and have suitably private consulting spaces available for patients.
A Jetstar passenger whose allegedly drunken, disruptive and abusive behaviour led to a flight from Perth to Sydney being turned around is facing the prospect of $27,500 in fines after being charged by Australian Federal Police.
The pilot of Jetstar flight JQ989 was forced to turn back shortly after take-off yesterday afternoon after the man allegedly verbally abused the crew and ignored their directions while intoxicated.
After the flight arrived back in Perth, the 33-year-old was arrested by AFP officers and later charged with offensive or disorderly behaviour in aircraft, and failing to comply with safety instructions by cabin crew.

Each of those charges carries a maximum fine of $13,750.
"Airline staff are there to ensure the safety of passengers and they, along with every other passenger onboard, deserve to be treated with dignity and respect," AFP superintendent Peter Hatch said.
"Verbally abusing airline staff and failing to comply with their directions are serious offences. These matters are not something the AFP takes lightly."
"Bad behaviour on board aircrafts, and in and around airports, impacts everybody's travel plans, including the hundreds of affected passengers onboard."
The flight to Sydney was cancelled as a result of the incident.

"The safety of our crew and customers is our first priority and we do not tolerate any disruptive or abusive behaviour on our aircraft," a Jetstar spokesperson said.
"We apologise to customers who were impacted by this disruption and thank them for their patience as our teams worked hard to provide overnight accommodation in Perth and replacement flights on Monday morning."
The man is due to face Perth Magistrates Court later on Monday.
Key said it was a wise strategy by Luxon based on simple maths.
A convicted killer has argued he should not be held by the "no body, no parole" law in Queensland as his victim's missing remains probably no longer existed.
Matthew Leslie Armitage was convicted, along with his father Stephen John Armitage and a third man, William Francis Dean, of the torture and manslaughter of Gold Coast man Shaun Barker and interfering with his corpse.
The three men abducted Barker and kept him in a large Esky on the suspicion he had stolen an ingredient for manufacturing methamphetamine.

Sections of Barker's charred remains were found in April 2014 at the Toolara State Forest about 160km north of Brisbane.
Some burnt bones were found in a fire pit.
About 15 to 20 per cent of Barker's remains have never been recovered, including his shin bone, and both hands and feet.
Armitage, then aged 29, was sentenced to eight years' imprisonment in 2020 and required to serve 80 per cent of his sentence.
In a bid for release on parole earlier this month, Armitage argued that Queensland's no body, no parole law did not apply as unrecovered parts of Barker's body would now have been completely destroyed through fire, weather effects, decomposition and animal activity.
In a judgment handed down on Friday, Justice Melanie Hindman denied the application in part due to it not being the parole board's role to speculate on the condition of Barker's unrecovered body parts.
"That speculation would occur in the possible absence of any helpful information from the prisoner," Hindman said.
Hindman said having a prisoner provide as much information as possible to aid in the return of a body was the crucial part of "no body, no parole".
"(There are) circumstances where part of the body or part of the remains of the victim will not be locatable because of a cause other than the act or omission of the prisoner," Hindman said.
Hindman said Armitage's parole application did not claim that he had provided full co-operation that had nevertheless failed to result in locating Barker's missing remains.
He had simply argued "no body, no parole" did not apply in his case.
Hilary Barry has been forced to once again warn her fans not to fall for a scam.
A wall collapsed on, crushed demo worker Mosese Foketi, breaking his back, foot, shoulder.
A woman was practising parking when she backed into a concrete wall and flipped the car onto a busy Sydney beach.
The P-plate driver, a 33-year-old woman, was with a 55-year-old male passenger when she crashed just after 1pm at Balmoral Beach in Mosman.
It's understood the woman mounted a kerb while parking on The Esplanade, panicked and accelerated over the grass before hitting a concrete barrier at the beach.

The wall crumbled before the car tipped over and rolled flat onto its roof on the sand.
"The driver was in the process of leaving a parking space," Acting Inspector Sean Donnelly said.
"In doing so, the vehicle has come up onto the grassed area before going onto the beach area and flipping over.
"It has gone nose-in and as it has gone over through the brickwork it has tipped over onto its roof."
The driver and passenger were able to free themselves from the car.
"The driver was treated at the scene by NSW Ambulance paramedics for minor injuries, while the passenger was not injured," police said.
No one on the beach was injured.
"It is a beautiful day and school holidays with a lot of people around, it is very lucky no one was injured," Donnelly said.
Police have since removed the car, a Kia hatchback, from the beach.

Beachgoers told 9News it felt like an "earthquake" when the car landed on the beach.
"We just heard a big thump and a loud noise and next thing my sister turns around and says, 'There's a car, quick, let's get up', and it just flipped right over," a witness said.
"I saw the wall collapsing then I saw the car come through somersaulting onto the roof," another witness said.
Witnesses said it was lucky no one was sitting there when the car came careening onto the sand.
A police spokesperson admitted the officer made a mistake.
