Interstate Prescribing Regulations for NSW Psychiatrists
Psychiatrists in NSW must comply with state-specific regulations when prescribing medications. Prescriptions for controlled substances, such as psychostimulants, may not be valid in other states like WA and NT without meeting local requirements. While telehealth consultations are permitted, the actual prescribing must adhere to the patient’s state regulations. Real-Time Prescription Monitoring systems are in place to ensure safe and appropriate prescribing practices across Australia.
