Schedule 2                           Pharmacy medicines                                                               Substances, the safe use of which may require advice from a pharmacist and which should be available from a pharmacy or, where a pharmacy service is not available, from a licensed person.
Schedule 3                           Pharmacist only medicines                                                        Substances, the safe use of which requires professional advice but which should be available to the public from a pharmacist without a prescription.
Schedule 4                           Prescription only medicines and prescription animal remedies                     Substances, the use or supply of which should be by or on the order of persons permitted by State or Territory legislation to prescribe and should be available from a pharmacist on prescription.

Schedule 7                           Dangerous poisons                                                                Substances with a high potential for causing harm at low exposure and which require special precautions during manufacture, handling or use.
