Online Rx Prescription in Australia: 100% Bulk Billed

An Rx prescription is a formal, legal document written by a qualified healthcare professional, such as a doctor, GP or nurse practitioner, authorising a pharmacist to dispense a specific medication for a patient. The term “Rx” is derived from the Latin word “recipe,” meaning “take,” and is commonly used as an abbreviation for “prescription”. When the same prescriptions are received through online portals via telehealth, it is called online Rx prescriptions.

When the online Rx prescription is approved, it will be sent to your registered mobile number as an SMS. This SMS will contain a digital token which will be either a QR code or a bar code and can be scanned at most pharmacies in Australia. Alternatively, you can dispense the medicines through a pharmacy online and get them delivered to your location.
