Prescription Referral Requests

At Health Nexus Launceston, we’re committed to making your healthcare experience as seamless and efficient as possible. That’s why we’re excited to introduce you to the Automed AMs Connect app, a convenient tool designed to simplify your prescription management and referral requests.

Important Referral Guidelines
  • Specialist Requests: Referrals are only available to patients who have had a previous discussion with their regular doctor at Health Nexus Launceston regarding the need for a specific specialist.
  • Mental Health Referrals: To request a referral to a mental health service or to schedule ongoing reviews with that provider, you must have an appointment with your regular doctor at Health Nexus Launceston.
  • Imaging Requests: Our doctors will not process requests for imaging unless discussed with the regular GP. This policy ensures that all imaging requests are medically necessary and appropriately managed.
Important Script Guidelines
  • Medication Eligibility: Ensure that the medication is a regular prescription issued by Health Nexus Launceston. We cannot process requests for medications prescribed by other Doctors.
  • Antibiotics:  The Doctors who work here will not process requests for antibiotics without a consultation.
  • Pain Relief: The Doctors who work here will not process requests for pain relief medications unless discussed with the prescribing GP.
