An electronic prescription or E-script is a digital version of a paper prescription.

Most medicines can be prescribed using an electronic prescription. During your consultation with your doctor, you can choose to get your prescription via SMS or email. You will receive a message with a link to your electronic prescription. Your script is stored on your digital device, so you can access it whenever you’re ready. You won't need to worry about carrying paper or losing your scripts

How do e-scripts work?

If you choose to receive an electronic prescription, your doctor will send a SMS or email to your mobile phone. It will contain a link to a ‘token’ which contains your prescription information.

Visit the pharmacy of your choice and present your token. They will scan the token and provide you with the prescribed medication.

Can I still get a paper prescription?

If you are happy with a paper prescription you can continue to get you medication as usual.
