Ongoing Medication Shortages - April 2025
We are aware of the ongoing shortages of Concerta and Ritalin LA in Australia, as announced by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). These shortages are expected to continue for some time (perhaps until the end of the year). We understand your concern about the impact this may have on your child's treatment plan.
Please call reception (03) 9125 7080 to discuss the new prescription requirements.
Script requests are to be made over the phone with reception.
A $25 fee will be charged for scripts requested outside of appointments.
Please ensure you have checked you no longer hold any repeats. Check with your pharmacist if unsure.
It is at your paediatrician’s discretion if they action the script request. Some families may require an appointment. Your paediatrician will advise if this is required.
Scripts are to be provided as eScripts wherever possible.
Letter & Report Requests
It is at your paediatrician’s discretion if they action your request for a letter/report to be organised outside of an appointment.
