In the interest of quality healthcare, the doctors will normally need to have a formal consultation with you for a repeat prescription.
When you see a specialist, you need to have a referral to be eligible for Medicare benefits. The doctors prefer to discuss with you before referring you to a specialist. Referrals from a general practitioner (GP) to a specialist are valid for 12 months, unless otherwise specified. This period begins from the date of your first consultation with the specialist, not the date the referral is issued by the GP.
Staff cannot discuss your results over the phone due to confidentiality reason. We recommend that patients return for follow up consultation with doctors after any tests, doctors will explain the results and/or discuss a treatment plan.

Yes, in most cases, you will need to see a doctor for a prescription. This ensures safe prescribing practices and allows the doctor to discuss alternatives, side effects, and other considerations with you. However, in some cases, a prescription for continuing medication may be provided without a consultation, and a fee may be charged for this service.
All patients must book an appointment (telephone/video or in-person) for the doctor to review their medical history and determine the appropriateness of the requested script. This is necessary for patient safety and ensures fair treatment for all patients.
We understand the urgency of your situation. However, it’s important to plan ahead for medication refills to avoid running out. While our doctors will do their best to accommodate urgent script requests, please understand that immediate prescriptions may not always be possible due to their busy schedules. Quick script requests may also compromise the thorough assessment and care you deserve.
No, our doctors do not prescribe Schedule 8 medications, such as Xanax, Valium, Oxycodone, and similar drugs, due to their potential for misuse and dependence.

After a doctor discusses the results with you, they may be able to email you some of your results if you consent to receive them electronically. Depending on the sensitivity of the information, the doctor may offer to send the results with or without a password for added security.
We utilize a secure automated SMS system to notify patients once we have received their results.
