Online prescription request

You must complete our online form to order a prescription of medication.

During the Christmas holidays

Online prescriptions will be unavailable from 12pm Wednesday 23 December to Monday 4 January. If you need a prescription urgently during this time, please visit:

Wellington Accident and Urgent Medical Centre
17 Adelaide Road
Wellington

While Student Health is closed, if you visit Wellington Accident and Urgent Medical Centre on 24, 28, 29, 30, 31 December between 8am - 5pm, we will pay part or all of your visit, excluding diagnostic testing, radiology, and prescription fees. You must present your student ID to qualify for this.

A prescription for medication may, in some circumstances, be obtained without a doctor consultation if the medication has been previously prescribed within the past 12 months.

Before you request another prescription, please check that your pharmacy does not have any repeat prescriptions awaiting collection.

Plan ahead so you do not run out of medication. If you have accidentally run out of medication, a short-term supply may be prescribed in the interim only and an appointment made with the doctor for a later date.

Prescriptions are provided at the discretion of our clinicians.

Urgent requests (processed the same day if requested before 2pm, or the next working day if after 2pm) will incur a $10 fee.
Non urgent requests will be processed within 48 - 72 hours of receipt. These will incur no fee.
If requiring antidepressant or controlled drugs you may need to make an appointment with a doctor.
If further details are required a nurse will ring you - make sure you answer your phone.
