Can I get a script without going to the doctor?

Yes, you can get a script online via telehealth that is valid and legal in Australia. You don’t need to visit a clinic in person. With Hola, you can request a prescription online and have a quick telehealth consult with an AHPRA-registered doctor. If the doctor thinks the medication is suitable and safe for you, they’ll issue an eScript straight away. 

Can I get a prescription over the phone? 

Yes, absolutely. Hola doctors can review your request and speak with you over a phone consult if needed. If clinically appropriate, the doctor will send your electronic script (QR code) directly to your phone within minutes. You don’t need to go to a clinic. 

Are online prescriptions accepted by local pharmacies? 

Yes, online scripts issued through Hola Health are accepted at most pharmacies across Australia. Your eScript arrives as an SMS with a QR code. Just show the code at the pharmacy counter, and they’ll scan it to dispense your medication. Hola online scripts are: 

• issued only by AHPRA-registered Australian doctors or practitioners 
• fully valid and secure 
• same as paper prescriptions — just digital and faster 

Tip: You can get your online script bulk-billed under Medicare with Hola. All you will need is a Medicare card. Timing applies.
