What New South Wales law adds for patients in Morisset and Cooranbong
New South Wales asks for a NSW Health authority only where the Clinician considers the patient drug dependent. For most adults the only approval in play is the federal one, which your Clinician applies for in their own name. On 5 November 2026 the Medicines, Poisons and Therapeutic Goods Act 2022 (NSW) replaces the 1966 Act; NSW Health’s guidance keeps dependence as the trigger and moves state applications into 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 Morisset and Cooranbong
-
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.
-
Book video or telephone
Video works on a phone, tablet or computer with a camera. If video is not workable on the day, a telephone consultation is available instead. Support and bookings run 9am to 7pm local time during standard time.
-
What to have ready
Before the call, write down the medications you take and their doses, and gather any recent results or specialist letters. Your Clinician also confirms your Medicare details and home address. Pick a spot where nobody can overhear you.
-
After the consultation
Your Clinician decides whether any treatment is appropriate. Where the medicine is not on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods, they apply to the TGA under Special Access Scheme Category B, and to the NSW health department if the rules above require it, and they prescribe nothing until every approval is back. Follow-up reviews are held by video or telephone too.
Morisset and Cooranbong's Primary Health Network
Morisset and Cooranbong falls within Hunter New England and Central Coast PHN. Primary Health Networks are independent organisations funded by the Australian Government to plan and commission primary health care in their regions. They do not hold consultations themselves, and LeafLine Clinic is not part of, funded by or endorsed by any of them.
A PHN's website is a sensible place to look for the GPs, pharmacies and community services in your area, which matter alongside any telehealth care.
