Prescriptions

SAVE MONEY!

ORDERING SCRIPTS HERE ARE $30 DUE TO THE EXTRA ADMINISTRATION

BUT  $25  via  "Manage My Health" portal or set up a regular script with your GP (who will manage it via their task system).

​

Repeat medications do not require an appointment if your condition is stable - your doctor will let you know if they want to see you. Note that repeat prescriptions are not a first level service so not covered by capitation which is why it might seem odd that they are more expensive in some cases than a face-to-face appointment. 

​

YOU MAY NEED AN APPOINTMENT IF: 

​

• You're requesting new medication or its been a long time since you've been prescribed. 

• You've recently been in hospital, we normally would want to see you before prescribing again. 

• NOTE  in most cases antibiotics WILL NOT be prescribed without an appointment -if you have a chronic condition that requires antibiotics from time to time, discuss this with your doctor at your next consultation to see if a "back pocket script" is appropriate. 

Completing this form does not guarantee that your request will be approved. The doctor may still wish to see you, in which case they will send a text.  

NOTE: Controlled drug prescriptions - for patients under 14 years of age, fees may be subsidised. 

It's the doctor's final decision to prescribe or decline a repeat prescription. You may require a face-to-face appointment or wait until your own doctor is available. In either situation, standard consultation fees will apply.
