Prescriptions & Referrals

Prescriptions & Referrals

In the interest of your good health and well being, the doctors  at this practice abide by best practice procedures and request that you make a brief appointment for ongoing prescriptions.It is a legal requirement under the Medicare Act that a referral to a specialist only be given after due consideration by the treating doctor. The doctors at this practice WILL NOT backdate referrals to specialists or medical certificates.

Our practice has integrated the use of E-prescriptions. An electronic prescription is a prescription that is electronically generated and sent to your mobile phone or computer. You can use an electronic prescription, in the same way as a paper prescription, to get medicines from your pharmacy.

Inform the reception staff of your needs at time of booking your appointment.
