Dispensing

The Federal Government is permanently going to allow pharmacists to dispense an extra month’s supply of common medicines without a script â€”over the protests of the RACGP.  

Introduced in response to the 2019-20 bushfires and then extended because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the continued dispensing rules allow pharmacists to dispense extra medicines once per patient every 12 months.
