The short legal answer
A prescription is a clinical decision by an appropriately registered Australian doctor after a real assessment. The doctor takes a history, considers alternatives, and records the decision. An online questionnaire is not a prescription. Read how matching works.
What is not a pathway
Online shops and research-chemical sellers are not a lawful prescription pathway. A research-only label does not make a product a medicine you can import for personal treatment. A seller's assurances do not replace an Australian doctor's assessment or TGA rules. The wider access rules are in how to get peptides legally in Australia.
Matching vs prescribing
This website matches adults to partner clinics. It does not prescribe or supply medicines. The doctor at the partner clinic decides whether any prescription is appropriate. A consult does not guarantee a prescription.
How a consult works
1. Complete the health questionnaire. It takes about three minutes. No GP referral is needed to request a call back. 2. A partner clinic calls from an Australian number within 48 hours. 3. You speak with an AHPRA-registered doctor by telehealth, unless the doctor asks for tests or an in-person visit. See peptide telehealth. 4. The doctor decides. The steps are on how it works.

How to check a doctor
Search the doctor's name on the AHPRA Register of Practitioners. Confirm the profession is Medical Practitioner and that registration is current. How to check a doctor's AHPRA registration shows the steps. Registration is not the same thing as a particular TGA authorisation.
Pathways at a high level
If a medicine is not on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods for that use, the doctor may consider a TGA pathway. SAS Category B is often a case-by-case application by the doctor. Authorised Prescriber is a different doctor-level authorisation. Patients do not apply for either, and the TGA can decline. This page does not list substances.
Cost
The consult fee is $99 including GST, paid to the partner clinic. Nothing is paid on this website. The fee is not Medicare-rebated. Medicine and pathology costs, if any, are separate and are not quoted here. See consult cost. This is general information, not medical advice. In an emergency, call 000.

FAQs
- Can I find a doctor who prescribes peptides near me?
- Consults arranged through this matching service are by telehealth with an AHPRA-registered Australian doctor at a partner clinic. The doctor decides whether a remote assessment is enough. This website does not list suburbs or promise a prescription.
- Is a telehealth consult a lawful way to be assessed?
- Telehealth is allowed when the doctor does a real clinical assessment and keeps proper records. Some situations still need tests or an in-person visit. The doctor decides. Peptide telehealth in Australia summarises the general rules.
- Does a consult guarantee a prescription?
- No. A consult is an assessment. The doctor can decline. Nothing is paid on this website. The $99 consult fee is paid to the partner clinic.
- Do I need a GP referral?
- No GP referral is needed to request a call back. The doctor may still ask you to involve your usual GP, or to bring existing records. A partner clinic calls within 48 hours.
- Can my usual GP prescribe?
- Any appropriately registered medical practitioner may prescribe within their scope after an assessment. Many people use a GP. This website does not replace your GP, and it does not prescribe.
