Please complete this form below for a prescription request from a Paediatrics Ballarat Paediatrician.
This service is to be used if there is an unexpected need for a prescription.
Due to increasing administrative and medical demands, scripts between appointments will attract a $30 cost.
Dr. Doddamani prefers a telehealth consult for prescription requests, so please contact the
rooms to arrange this appointment time.
In most instances, your GP is responsible for ongoing scripts for your child's medication.
If you require a prescription outside a booked appointment, please contact Paediatrics Ballarat a week prior to the end of supply to allow us time to arrange the prescription to be written.
For restricted medication and medication for ADHD, a repeat prescription is issued if;
- Patient has attended their appointments regularly as planned by his/her paediatrician
- Has an appointment booked
- There is no change in dose / drug requested
- You have no more than 14 days of medication left
For stimulant medications for ADHD, you must only have less than two weeks supply remaining of your exisiting prescription to request another prescription (this is a Government requirement). By using this service you consent, if required, to a video consult, to clarify any details of the clinical progress of your child.
