From 🌟1 February 2026🌟, some people with stable, long‑term health conditions may be able to get prescriptions that last up to 12 months instead of 3.
​
Your prescriber will decide if this is right and safe for you, and it does not apply to controlled drugs.
Even with a 12‑month prescription, we can only give you up to 3 months’ supply at a time, and your repeats need to be collected from the same pharmacy.
If you usually pay a prescription fee (for example $5), you’ll still pay this on the first supply of each medicine.
​
If you’re unsure whether this applies to you, have a chat with your prescriber – and if you have any questions, come and see us or give us a call.
