Prescriptions, Referrals & Medical Certificates

Prescriptions, referrals & medical certificates are usually provided at the time of consultation.

NEW OR ONE-OFF PRESCRIPTIONS

Doctors may not issue scripts over the phone if you have not seen the doctor for a period of 3 months. Doctors have a duty of care to ensure that prescribing is appropriate & may need to examine you as part of this care. If you think an examination will be required, please book an in-person appointment.

Scripts issued over the phone will be sent as an e-script to your mobile phone which is our preferred method.

REPEAT PRESCRIPTIONS

Patients who are on regular repeat medications can now request repeats online without the need to see or speak with their GP. This service will attract a fee of $30 and scripts will be delivered via e-script direct to mobile phones.

Requests can be made by using the booking button below.

REFERRALS & MEDICAL CERTIFICATES

Copies of current referrals and certificates can be provided on request. These will not be posted.

For phone consultations, referrals & certificates will be faxed or emailed upon your verbal consent.

REPEAT REFERRALS

Patients who have known standing arrangements for referrals to specialists (e.g. annual referral to dermatologist for skin check), can now request repeat referrals online without the need to see or speak with their GP. (however, you must have visited your GP within the last 12 months). This service will attract a fee of $30 and the referral will be delivered by email.

An in-person appointment is still required for referral requests for psychology/mental health care plans or allied health providers.
