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.
