Script Renewal Requests
To request a prescription renewal please complete the Script Request Form below.
Stimulant or other ADHD Medication prescriptions:
please also email your child’s current height, weight and blood pressure unless you are sure that your doctor does not reuire this.
There may shortages of stimulant medication.
Please contact your local pharmacies and ask if they can fill your requested prescription. If they cannot fill it, please ask them to advise what alternatives they have in stock or are confident of obtaining to fill a prescription. Please go instead to https://prosperpaediatrics.au/medication-shortage-request
At 02/09/2025, we understand that the following ADHD medications are not currently in short supply, as advised by the TGA:
Vyvanse, Guanfacine (Intuniv), Dexamfetamine, Teva XR 36;
the Long Acting Swiss brand of Methylphenidate (Concerta Swiss)
TGA advice appears to be lagging behind; please check with your pharmacy.
Payment of the Request Fee is necessary to process the Request unless your provider is Dr Yanni.
An appointment may also be required.
Most of the associated providers are happy to issue prescriptions without an appointment if the medication plan is stable, they can review your child’s progress in a face-to-face appointment every 6 months, and there are no other clinical matters or issues needing their review.
Dr Conway is happy to review face-to-face at least every 12 months.
Dr Yanni requires an appointment
for any script renewal or prescription changes.
The Request Fee will not be billed
Generally, she will require a standard appointment for review of any Authority Medications and Fluoxetine, or if there are questions, concerns or change requests. A short appointment can be booked for other non-Authority Medications if there are no changes requested and if you do not have any other questions or concerns.
The Request Fee
Fees are charged by the other associated paediatricians for the following requests for processing
prescription renewals or
prescription repeat checks
The Script Request Fee will be
$35 for any Request for one or more medications that do not require an Authority, including Intuniv, Atomoxetine.
$40 for any Request including at least one Authority medication.
and if urgently needed, an additional charge of $40 (within 5 business days or your provider’s next clinic, whichever is the latter).
If, instead of an eScript, posting or faxing of a paper script is requested, there will be an additional charge of $15.00.
Your Request may then be completed in an appointment or may be provided without an appointment.
Stimulant Medications shortage?
If you are not able to fill your script due to a current current shortage, please go here for more information and a form to request an alternative medication.
The Script Request Form-using this to make a Request.
Please complete a Script Renewal Request Form below for each script requested
-Ensure you indicate how many scripts you will be requesting- i.e. whether you are going to send more than one Form as part of your Request.
The fee for your Script Renewal Request is billed on the assumption that the administrative team can process all your forms together and the doctor can open your child's file and complete all script renewal requests at once. If, later, a second process is required, and the doctor needs to reopen the file to review and provide further script renewals, the additional work will be billed as a new, unrelated Script Request.
