Patients who take regular long-term medication, and are medically stable, may be able to get prescriptions for up to 12 months. To see if you are eligible, you will need to book an appointment with your regular prescriber. Your prescriber will review your history and decide if the extended prescription is clinically appropriate for you.

There is a standard consultation fee for this appointment, even if your prescriber decides the extended prescription is not suitable for you.

Prescriptions that are extended to 12 month repeats will still need to be collected from the pharmacy every three months (six months for oral contraceptives). However, you will only need to pay the co-payment of $5-$15 per item the first time you collect your 12 month prescription. ‍If your prescribed medication goes out of stock or changes brand/formulation during the 12 months, you will need to request a new repeat prescription from us.

Controlled drugs, ADHD medication, medication that requires regular monitoring and medication that are only used as needed are not available for 12 month prescriptions. ‍‍

If you want to see if you are eligible, please call us to schedule an appointment with your provider.
