Complete a secure start-or-switch safety screen. An AHPRA-registered doctor reviews a request only after it passes the pre-checkout terminal checks, then decides whether online prescribing is appropriate.
On the next screen, choose start or switch pill. Full refund if the doctor declines. Prescription is not guaranteed.

Safety gate
Before payment
Possible pregnancy and specified pill-safety risks stop this paid pathway before checkout.
Possible pregnancy, migraine with aura, blood clot history, and smoking change contraceptive safety. They are terminal intake checks here, not paid requests waiting for a doctor call.
A yes or not-sure answer stops the paid pathway so pregnancy can be ruled out or assessed through appropriate care.
A reported history stops this paid pathway and directs you to a GP or sexual health clinic.
A personal or close-family clot history stops this paid pathway because it changes contraceptive safety.
A yes answer stops this paid pathway. Smoking changes which pills may be safe, especially from age 35.
Seek urgent care for chest pain, sudden shortness of breath, one-sided weakness, collapse, severe headache with vision or speech symptoms, calf swelling with pain, heavy unexplained bleeding, severe pelvic pain, or possible pregnancy with pain or bleeding. Call 000 for emergencies.
Safety screen
The pre-checkout form checks terminal pill-safety risks before any paid doctor review. Blood pressure and other non-terminal details inform review only if the pathway continues.
Pathway choice
Starting or switching uses a women's health assessment. Continuing the same established pill usually belongs in repeat prescriptions.
Red flags
Urgent symptoms need urgent care before any online pill form.

This pathway does not replace a sexual health clinic, physical examination, emergency contraception service, procedure, or repeat-prescription pathway.
The doctor decides whether any prescription is clinically appropriate. The public page does not offer a pill or brand menu.
The link opens the shared women's-health form. Choose start or switch pill next. Terminal safety answers stop the pathway before payment and explain another care route.
Only a request that passes the terminal screen proceeds to paid review by an AHPRA-registered doctor. A non-terminal detail such as an incomplete blood-pressure history may still need clarification.
Medicare is required and pharmacy costs are separate. If clinically appropriate, the outcome is sent digitally. Prescription is not guaranteed. Full refund if the doctor declines.
Choose the route that matches whether you need an unchanged repeat, a different women's-health assessment, or in-person care.
