Repeat Prescriptions

Each GP surgery or primary care practice will have its own procedure for repeat prescribing but the following rules are common to most, if not all. Patients who are well-known to the practice who have a stable condition like asthma, hypertension or diabetes could be allowed to get a repeat prescription for up to six months. Repeat prescriptions are never given to patients who are not known to the practice and there is probably a blanket ban on repeats for narcotics and other drugs that could be misused as doctors are expected to monitor these drugs carefully.

Please give at least 24 hours notice for us to complete your repeat prescription.

We can send the script directly to the pharmacy of your choice if you provide the name of the pharmacy. You can do this through our Manage My Health patient portal, or alternatively you can ring the practice. The cost for this for all patients is $25.

For urgent scripts (which is usually the same business day) the cost is $35.
