ePrescriptions
Two ‘modes’ for ePrescriptions
There will be two models or ‘modes’ available for ePrescriptions, the ‘Token’ and the ‘Active Script List’.
Token
ePrescriptions are a digital version of your paper prescription. Instead of receiving a paper prescription, your GP can now send you a Token via email or SMS directly to your smartphone or computer.
In a similar way to the prescribing of an original prescription, following the dispensing of a prescription at the pharmacy, any tokens for repeats would be provided back via a nominated pathway such as SMS, email or print.
Safe, convenient & efficient, ePrescriptions are stored on your digital device (smartphone or computer), for when you need them. This will save you time and increase medicine safety.

Active Script List (ASL)/MySL
As with the Token model, the ASL/MySL relies upon ePrescription messages instead of paper prescriptions. The ASL does not require a token to access the patient’s prescription(s) after the patient registers for their ASL, and therefore provides greater utility for the patient and pharmacy. The ASL is not part of the My Health Record (MyHR) service and is optional for patients. The ASL enables patients to provide their choice of pharmacy (or pharmacies), prescribers and third-party intermediaries with access to their personal and private list of ‘active scripts’, ready for dispensing, like a virtual scripts on file. This access is ongoing and is revocable at any time or temporary, depending on the access granted by the patient.
It is important to note that the ASL is only a list of a patient’s active prescriptions and is not a list of their full medication profile.
