On cost per tablet, Centrum Advance Adults is the cheapest multivitamin in Australia at about 12 cents a tablet (A$12.00 for 100), against roughly 25 cents for Blackmores Multivitamins for Men (A$22.50 for 90). Whether you need a supplement at all is a question for a blood test and a health professional — this guide compares what is available and what it costs, not what it does.

Centrum Advance Adults Multivitamin & Minerals, 100 Tablets
The value pick on arithmetic alone. At roughly half the per-tablet cost of the Blackmores multivitamin and with the largest pack here, it is the cheapest way to take a daily general multivitamin — which is a separate question from whether you should.
This guide does one thing: it compares what multivitamins actually cost per tablet, because that is the comparison the packs make hardest to see. Pack sizes run from 30 to 100 units and prices from A$10.68 to A$36.99, so the sticker price tells you very little — and within a single brand's own range the larger pack is not always better value. What this guide deliberately does NOT do is tell you whether you need a supplement, or what one will do for you. That depends on your diet, your bloods and your circumstances, and it is a conversation for a GP or pharmacist. Everything below was confirmed listed, in stock and shipping within Australia at the time of writing, with format, unit count and dietary suitability taken from each manufacturer's own listing.
1Work out the cost per tablet before you compare brands — it is the only number that makes packs of 30, 60, 90 and 100 comparable. Centrum Advance works out around 12 cents a tablet; Blackmores Multivitamins for Men around 25 cents.
2Check the pack size within a brand, not just across brands. Blackmores Vitamin E 1000IU costs A$36.99 for 100 capsules (about 37c each) and A$12.50 for 30 (about 42c each) — the big pack is better value, but only by about 12%, so buy the small one if you are trying it.
3Match the format to whether you will actually take it. Every Centrum product here is a tablet; the Blackmores Vitamin E is a capsule. If swallowing tablets is a problem, that is a more important specification than anything on the front of the box.
4Read the dietary flags on the listing if they matter to you. Centrum Advance lists Keto and Vegetarian; Centrum Men and Women list Keto; the Blackmores Vitamin E lists Halal. These come from the product listings rather than from us.
5Every supplement legally sold in Australia carries an AUST L or AUST R number on the pack. That is a requirement for sale, not a quality ranking or a mark of effectiveness — so use it to confirm the product is legitimately supplied here, and nothing more.
Top 6 health picks for Australia
#1Top pick
CCentrum
Centrum
Centrum Advance Adults Multivitamin & Minerals, 100 Tablets
Lowest cost per tablet
The value pick on arithmetic alone. At roughly half the per-tablet cost of the Blackmores multivitamin and with the largest pack here, it is the cheapest way to take a daily general multivitamin — which is a separate question from whether you should.
Cheapest per tablet in this guide at roughly 12 cents
Largest pack here at 100 tablets — over three months at one a day
Listed as both Keto and Vegetarian suitable
Cons
A general adult formula rather than a targeted one
Tablets only, if capsules suit you better
#2
CCentrum
Centrum
Centrum Men Multivitamin & Minerals, 60 Tablets
Cheapest to try
The cheapest entry point. If you want to try a daily multivitamin without committing to a hundred tablets, this is the least you can spend — though the Advance 100-pack is better value per tablet if you know you will continue.
60 tablets is a sensible two-month trial rather than a commitment
Highest-rated Centrum product here at the time of writing
Cons
Costs more per tablet than the 100-pack Advance
Formulated as a men's product, so not a universal pick
#3
CCentrum
Centrum
Centrum Women Multivitamin & Minerals, 60 Tablets
Highest rated
Effectively the counterpart to the Centrum Men product at the same size and price. It carries the best customer rating in this guide, which is worth noting given how similar these formulations are on paper.
Highest customer rating of any pick here at the time of writing
Same 60-tablet pack size and near-identical price to the men's version
Keto suitable per the listing
Cons
Slightly dearer per tablet than the men's equivalent
Again a targeted formula rather than general
#4
BBlackmores
Blackmores
Blackmores Multivitamins for Men, 90 Tablets
Best-known Australian brand
Best-known Australian brand
You are paying a brand premium of about 13 cents a tablet over Centrum Advance. That may be worth it to you for an Australian-made product from a familiar name — but on the arithmetic alone, it is the more expensive way to take a daily multivitamin.
Blackmores is the most widely stocked Australian supplement brand
90 tablets sits between Centrum's 60 and 100 packs
Widely available, so easy to repurchase anywhere
Cons
Roughly double the per-tablet cost of Centrum Advance
Lowest customer rating of the picks here
#5
BBlackmores
Blackmores
Blackmores Vitamin E 1000IU, 100 Capsules
Best value single-nutrient
Include this only if a single nutrient is what you are after rather than a general multivitamin — which is a decision for a health professional, not a buying guide. If it is, the 100-capsule pack is the better value of the two Blackmores sizes.
Better per-capsule value than the 30-pack of the identical product
Capsule format, if tablets are difficult to swallow
Listed as Halal suitable
Cons
Highest total price in the guide at A$36.99
A single-nutrient product, so it is not a multivitamin
#6
BBlackmores
Blackmores
Blackmores Vitamin E 1000IU, 30 Capsules
Smallest pack
The same product as the pick above in a third of the quantity, at about 12% more per capsule. Buy this size to try it and the 100-pack if you continue — that is the whole difference between them.
A$12.50 total, so it is the cheapest way to try this specific product
One month at one a day
Capsule format, listed as Halal suitable
Cons
Most expensive per capsule in the guide
Only 30 units, so repurchasing is frequent
Editor's note
The only comparison this guide can make honestly is the arithmetic, and it is more revealing than it sounds. Pack sizes of 30, 60, 90 and 100 make sticker prices meaningless: Centrum Advance works out at about 12 cents a tablet and Blackmores Multivitamins for Men at about 25 cents — roughly double, for a daily tablet. And within Blackmores' own Vitamin E range the 100-capsule pack is about 37 cents a capsule against 42 cents for the 30-pack, so the bigger box is better value but only by around 12%. What no buying guide can tell you is whether you need any of this. That depends on your diet and your blood results, and it is a question for a GP or pharmacist.
Our take
If you have already decided to take a daily multivitamin, buy on cost per tablet and buy the largest pack you will finish — which points at Centrum Advance. If you are trying one for the first time, the 60-tablet Centrum products cost under A$12 and are the sensible way to find out whether you will keep taking it. We are not in a position to tell you a supplement will do anything for you, and any guide that does should be read carefully. All six were confirmed in stock and shipping within Australia at the time of writing.
Frequently asked questions
How do I compare multivitamin prices properly?
Divide the price by the number of tablets, because pack sizes here run from 30 to 100 and the sticker price hides the difference. Centrum Advance at A$12.00 for 100 tablets works out around 12 cents each; Blackmores Multivitamins for Men at A$22.50 for 90 is around 25 cents. That is roughly double for a daily tablet, which adds up over a year.
Is the bigger pack always better value?
Usually, but check. Blackmores Vitamin E 1000IU is A$36.99 for 100 capsules (about 37c each) and A$12.50 for 30 (about 42c each) — so the large pack saves around 12% per capsule, not the half you might assume. If you are trying a product for the first time, the smaller pack costs far less to abandon.
What does the AUST L number on the pack mean?
It shows the product is included on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods, which every supplement legally sold in Australia must be. It is a requirement for sale rather than a quality ranking or evidence of effectiveness, so treat it as confirmation the product is legitimately supplied here and nothing more.
Do I actually need a multivitamin?
That is not a question a buying guide can answer, and we will not try. Whether a supplement would benefit you depends on your diet, your circumstances and in many cases a blood test — so it is a conversation for a GP or pharmacist. What this guide can tell you is what is available, what format it comes in, and what it costs per tablet once you have decided.
