REPEAT PRESCRIPTION – ONLINE REQUEST
THIS SERVICE IS ONLY AVAILABLE FOR PREMIER HEALTH PARTNER PATIENTS AND WHERE THE ORIGINAL SCRIPT WAS PROVIDED BY ONE OF OUR GPS AND THE PATIENT HAS BEEN SEEN BY A GP AT THE CLINIC WITHIN THE PAST 3 MONTHS.
We also encourage our patients to register their bank account details with Medicare to allow for prompt reimbursement of the medicare rebate to the nominated bank account. Patients can register online at www.humanservices.gov.au/online or download a Medicare Bank Account details form.
Please understand:
Doctors require 48 hours notice to process a repeat prescription request.
If you require the script sooner, please make appointment with a Doctor. Please phone 93297077.
The fee for a repeat prescription has increased to $25.00. There are a number of clinical and administrative steps required for a repeat prescription. The fee is in recognition of this and is not refundable.
A repeat prescription request does not guarantee that a script will be written for you.
All requests are considered by a Doctor and a decision is then made as to whether this repeat request is appropriate for your health care needs.
Repeat prescriptions for antidepressants, anti-anxiety medication or strong pain medication will not be provided using this service.
Once the Doctor has approved your request you will be contacted and a fee of $25.00 will be applied. If the request is not approved you will also be notified and will be required to make an appointment for the prescription.
Your doctor will advise when they expect your results to arrive at the practice. In most instances, advice of “normal” test results will be sent to you by SMS. We will also use SMS to advise a non-urgent appointment is required.
In the event of a clinically significant result, you will be contacted as soon as possible to make a follow up appointment to discuss the results with your doctor.
Please ensure that you advise us of any change to your contact details.
The practice is increasingly seeking to communicate with our patients via secure electronic means. This would include email / SMS health reminders, on-line appointment bookings, SMS appointment reminders and in the future patient uploading basic health information. To do this we need to ensure we have your email address, mobile phone number and of course your consent.
New Patients including women, men and children are welcome at Premier Health Partners. Consultations are by appointment only. Appointments can be booked via telephone (03) 9329 7077, or via our website. In cases of an urgent appointment, please call and we will assist where possible.
If you are unable to attend for a scheduled appointment, please contact us to cancel or change your appointment time. As a courtesy we send out appointment reminders to the mobile number on file and request a minimum of 24 hours notice if you are unable to attend.
We have high demand for appointments and many patients miss out on seeing the doctor of their choice or even obtaining an appointment at all. Late cancellation or failing to attend does not allow the appointment to be offered to someone else seeking treatment.
A fee may be charged for failure to attend or cancellation at short notice, less than 24 hours on the day (NB: this fee does not attract a Medicare rebate).
We respect the right of the patient and ensure all complaints are dealt with in a timely manner.
This practice acknowledges that patient complaints are an important source of customer feedback.

If a satisfactory outcome is not achieved then complaint can be directed to the Health Services Commissioner for action by calling 03 8601 5200.
A referral is not required to access the services of our GP’s or Allied Health Professionals. Our Osteopaths and Psychologist do accept GP Care Plans and GP Mental Health Care Plans (Payment is required at the time of service and claim sent through to Medicare for overnight reimbursement).
