Get an Electronic Prescription

The easiest prescription is an electronic prescription.

An electronic prescription is now the most convenient way to receive a prescription from your doctor. It is a digital version of the paper prescription that we have all been using for many years.  They are more convenient, safe and secure than paper prescriptions, particularly hand written traditional scripts.

How do I get an electronic prescription?

Simply ask your doctor for an electronic prescription at your next doctors consultation or connect with a Medmate doctor online. You will be able to receive the script instantly by SMS or email. Doctors issue them using their regular prescribing software in the medical clinic. The script is in the form of a QR code.

All medicines can now be prescribed by electronic script. The vast majority of general practices in Australia are now able to prescribe them. Pharmacies around the country can accept both electronic prescriptions or traditional paper prescriptions. You can receive your repeat scripts as eScripts now as well –  the pharmacist will issue the repeats as electronic prescription tokens by SMS.
