Repeat Prescriptions from 1st March 2026

Repeat Prescriptions

Due to the increasing number of scripts being ordered over the phone.

We have implemented a different way to handle these requests.

We will require 24 hours’ notice – in exceptional circumstances doctor may be able to do sooner.

Payment will be required at the time of the request, along with any other outstanding debt.

The fee for prescriptions without an appointment will remain at $15.

If the Doctor decides not to charge for the prescription, this money can be refunded or remain on your file for use on another occasion.

Thank you for your understanding
