Repeat prescriptions -
We believe that we have a duty to review our patient’s medical conditions when repeating medication prescriptions. Under certain circumstances we may be prepared to issue prescriptions for a small number of items without seeing you.
If appropriate, you may request a repeat prescription by one of the methods described below. Your doctor will consider your request and either send a prescription to the pharmacy of your choice, or you will be asked to make an appointment. The usual turnaround time for repeat prescriptions is 24-48 hours, so please make your requests well before you need the medication.
You can request a repeat prescription in the following ways:
1) ManageMyHealth is an easy way to request a prescription for your regular medications, as well as book appointments online, and access your personal health information. Talk to a receptionist to sign up.
2) Use the form below:
3) E-mail reception@amityhc.co.nz and your request will be forwarded to your doctor. You must include the following details:
Repeat prescription to collect from Amity or fax to a Dunedin pharmacy: $15 ($10 for Community Services Card Holder)
Repeat prescription to fax to a pharmacy out of Dunedin: $20
Repeat prescription required with less than 24 hours notice: $20
The fee will be charged to your account at Amity Health Centre and an invoice/statement will be sent to you at the beginning of the next month if this has not been paid in the meantime. (Statement fees apply for late payments)

We need to see you if you are unwell.
