Valid prescription

Medicare card

Any concession or health care card or repatriation card

Any safety net card details

The pharmacy outpatient clients include:

- opioid treatment program clients referred from the Royal North Shore Hospital Herbert Street clinic (others via considered case by case arrangement)

- clozapine clinic clients

- patients with valid S100 PBS prescriptions

- patients with outpatient prescriptions specifically approved.

Is there a cost to patients to attend the clinic?

The supply of medications from the pharmacy usually involves the payment of a patient co-payment. This co-payment is equivalent to the co-payment charged in the community according to the concessional or general status of the client for valid Medicare card holders. Clients without a valid Medicare card will be asked to pay the full cost of the item unless an alternate arrangement has been approved.

Credit card payments can be made directly at the pharmacy department. Cash payments will need to be processed at the cashier's office.
