The NSW rules for a patient in St Georges Basin and Sanctuary Point
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 St Georges Basin and Sanctuary Point
-
Check your eligibility
The eligibility questionnaire is confidential and comes before any booking or payment. LeafLine Clinic consults with adults only, aged 18 and over.
-
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.
-
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.
-
After the consultation
A consultation does not end in a prescription by default. If the Clinician considers a treatment appropriate and it needs a TGA approval, they lodge a Category B application in their own name, together with any NSW application, and wait for both before prescribing. Later reviews follow the same video or telephone format.
