sec.100 Oral prescription

A prescriber must not give an oral prescription for a medicine except to a person whom the prescriber reasonably believes is authorised to administer the medicine. If the medicine is an S8 medicine and the person administers the S8 medicine on the oral prescription, the prescriber must— give the person a written prescription that confirms the oral prescription; or sign another record made by the person at the time of the administration on the oral prescription. The written prescription must be given, or the signature made, as soon as practicable, but no later than the end of the next business day, after the medicine was administered. This section does not apply if the medicine being prescribed is from an RFDS medicine chest kept by the Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia.
