Repeat prescriptions and referrals
An appointment is usually required for repeat prescriptions and referrals, which ensures optimal patient care and satisfies the doctors’ medicolegal obligations.
If an appointment is not required, a non-rebatable fee of $20 is charged to cover the doctor’s administrative time. Please note that in most instances a repeat prescription or referral will not be supplied unless you have attended the practice within the last 3 months.
Note: referrals will NOT be back-dated, as Medicare does not allow this.
