The NSW rules for a patient in Bowral and Mittagong

In New South Wales the state layer is narrow. A NSW Health authority is needed where the Clinician considers the patient drug dependent, and otherwise the federal approval is the one your Clinician applies for. The state’s new medicines Act commences on 5 November 2026, and from that date NSW Health takes state applications through SafeScript NSW.

Before prescribing, your Clinician checks SafeScript NSW, the state’s real-time prescription monitoring system, which shows recent supply of monitored medicines.

The federal side is the same everywhere. Our guide to getting a prescription through SAS-B explains the TGA approval, and if you are moving from another clinic, the New South Wales changing-clinics page covers what transfers and what does not.

How a consultation works from Bowral and Mittagong

  1. Check your eligibility

    A short confidential questionnaire tells you whether the service is a fit before you pay for anything. LeafLine sees adults aged 18 and over.

  2. Book video or telephone

    Choose video if you have a camera and a steady connection, or telephone if you would rather. Both reach the same Clinician and run the same way. Support and bookings run 9am to 7pm local time during standard time.

  3. What to have ready

    Keep your Medicare card, your home address and a list of what you currently take, with doses, within reach. Letters or results from other practitioners help if you have them. A closed room or a parked car gives you the privacy the conversation needs.

  4. After the consultation

    If your Clinician decides a treatment is appropriate, they apply for the approvals it needs in their own name: the TGA's Special Access Scheme Category B approval where the medicine is not on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods, plus any NSW approval described above. Nothing is prescribed until those are granted. Reviews afterwards run by video or telephone in the same way.
