The NSW rules for a patient in Nowra and Bomaderry
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.
Your consultation, taken in Nowra and Bomaderry
-
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
Have a list of your current medications and doses, any recent letters, results or discharge summaries, your Medicare card if you have one, and your home address, which goes on any prescription. Take the call somewhere private: a parked car works, an open-plan office does not.
-
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.
Nowra and Bomaderry's Primary Health Network
Nowra and Bomaderry falls within South Eastern NSW PHN (COORDINARE). A PHN is a regional body funded by the Australian Government that commissions primary care services rather than providing consultations. LeafLine Clinic is a private telehealth clinic with no link to any PHN.
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.
