Prescription requests

Before you enter details, please read and agree to the Terms and Conditions

1. This service is only available for existing patients who have been seen in the last 6 months. If you haven’t been seen in the last 6 months, you will need to make an appointment to be reviewed clinically to ensure the medication is still appropriate for you.
2. We can only provide repeat prescriptions for medications started and prescribed by Dr Cunnington. To obtain a repeat prescription, you must have obtained this prescription from us within the last 6 months.
3. You may select more than one medication, up to three, with each request.
4. Each prescription request is assessed by Dr Cunnington who will approve or decline the request on clinical grounds. If the request is declined, you will be advised why and your payment refunded.
5. In some cases, particularly with high-risk medications such as schedule 8 medications and drugs of dependence, e-scripts or paper scripts can only be sent to and held by the pharmacy.
6. The fee ($30) is payable when the request is submitted. If your request is declined, you will receive a full refund within several business days. Payments are managed securely via Stripe.
7. Scripts will be issued within five (5) working days from submission of the request. Many of the medications prescribed require permits and checking of online databases that track prescriptions and usage so aren’t able to be issued urgently or at short notice.
8. Mail delivery may take up to ten (10) business days to arrive from the date posted. 
9. Electronic versions of printed prescriptions sent to patients via email are not legal prescriptions, hence we cannot email copies of printed paper prescriptions directly to you.
10. As of April 1st 2022, legislation in Victoria does not allow electronic copies of prescriptions to be emailed or faxed to pharmacies.
