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 real-time consultation (Video) 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 video consult if needed. If clinically appropriate, the doctor will send your electronic script (QR code) directly to your phone within minutes.

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:
