Ordering Prescriptions
We strongly recommend that you obtain prescriptions when you visit your Doctor. Generally speaking it is much better to discuss ongoing need for medication in person with your Doctor – the Doctor may then have the opportunity to examine you if required.
You will be asked to make a brief special appointment when a repeat prescription is due. Under certain circumstances you may request a Prescription from us for certain medication by phoning the reception staff on 6425 1611.
The Doctor will then check this Prescription against your Medical Record and issue a prescription for you if it is appropriate. Prescriptions can be forwarded to our local pharmacies under certain circumstances – please inquire with our reception staff.
Please note that some requests may be refused if the Doctor believes that a visit in person is required. We will not issue prescriptions for medical conditions that have not been seen by our Doctors, OR initiate medications without patient being seen for that condition.
Cost:
- For prescriptions required within 48 hours - $3.00
- For prescriptions required within 24 hours - $5.00
Payment must be made when you collect your prescription.
Please note that Nursing Home patients are not required to pay for this service.
