    How do I get my medications?<\/h2>\n

    Our service has several experienced prescribers who can provide scripts to ongoing clients. Once you have a script you can attend the Pharmacy at the Brisbane clinic or take it to your local hospital or community pharmacy.<\/p>\n

    Please be aware that scripts are not given on the first appointment with the service.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>
