Prescriptions · Anxiety

Ran out of your anxiety script?

If you're already on anxiety medication and your GP can't fit you in, an AHPRA-registered doctor can renew it by phone — usually within the hour, straight to your phone.

How it works

Renewed in one call.

Step 1

Tell us what you take

Find your medication and answer a few health questions. About three minutes, and the doctor calls prepared.

Step 2

The doctor calls you

A secure call within the hour, 6am to midnight. They check the medication is still right for you.

Step 3

Your script, by text

If it's appropriate, the eScript token arrives by SMS. Take it to any pharmacy in Australia.

The pathway

A renewal, not a new start.

This pathway keeps you going on anxiety medication you're already taking, for the times your regular GP can't fit you in. It isn't a diagnosis, and it isn't a way to start treatment. Here's what it won't do:

  • Start you on anxiety medication for the first time
  • Include repeats — every renewal is a single supply
  • Cover Schedule 8 or other controlled medications
  • Cover authority scripts, unless they're streamlined

If you're new to anxiety treatment, or you want repeats and a longer-term plan, book a telehealth consultation instead — the doctor has the time to assess it properly and can refer you on if that's the right call.

Your script

Your script arrives as a text.

Once the doctor approves it, the eScript token comes straight to your phone by SMS. Show it at any pharmacy in Australia that dispenses electronic prescriptions — nothing to print, nothing to collect.

Not automatically. The doctor confirms the medication is still right for you before issuing anything. If it can't safely be renewed on a short call, they'll tell you what to do instead.

The express renewal pathway provides a single supply for times when your regular GP is unavailable. If you need repeats or a longer-term treatment plan, book a telehealth consultation so the doctor has time to assess what is appropriate.

You need either a Medicare card or an Individual Healthcare Identifier (IHI) so an electronic prescription can be issued. If you do not have Medicare, you can apply for an IHI through myGov.

If your regular medication is not listed, book a telehealth consultation instead. The doctor can assess your request, but cannot prescribe Schedule 8 or other controlled medicines through this service.

Any Australian pharmacy that supports electronic prescriptions can dispense your eScript. Most pharmacies now accept them; show the token sent to your phone when you arrive.

No. Once issued, a prescription cannot be changed unless an error prevents the pharmacy from dispensing it. Confirm the medication and your details with the doctor during the call.

Stay on track.
