Pharmacists to renew expired scripts under state’s prescribing trial

Scripts for the contraceptive pill from pharmacists will cover 12 months' supply.

Pharmacists will be able to renew GPs’ contraceptive scripts even if they are expired under the NSW Government’s pharmacy prescribing plan.

More details have emerged around Premier Dominic Perrottet’s election pledge to fund $20 pharmacist consultations for UTIs from 1 April and for contraception from 1 July.
