Before you request your prescription renewal, please read the following information:
- Only current patients of Bassendean Family Practice may request a prescription renewal without a doctor’s consultation.
- Only medications that have previously been prescribed by a doctor at Bassendean Family Practice can be renewed without a doctor’s consultation.
- If your prescription is overdue for renewal or you are requesting a renewal in advance of the scheduled date, you may be asked to make an appointment with one of our doctors in order to renew your prescription.
- Our doctors are not able to renew some prescriptions without seeing you first. This may be for a number of reasons – to evaluate for any side-effects, to check on your progress because it’s been too long between physical visits to allow a repeat or to see if other medications may be more appropriate. If you are unsure why your doctor is unable to renew your prescription without a consultation, please ask your doctor at your next visit.
- All prescription renewals will incur a fee regardless of the number of medications requested. Payment is taken on our website at the time of request.
