    Prescription Repeats

    Dumb question- can I get repeats filled out at a different chemist than where I got the original prescription from? As the repeats now have the paperwork from the original chemist but we've moved towns and I don't want to travel 100ks just to get it done!

    Yes, if you have the script (repeats) you can go anywhere.

    Prescription repeats are valid for 12 months (some 6months like sleep tabs ) and can be dispensed at any pharmacy in Australia ( doesn't need to be same state).
