Faster Access to Your Results

To improve our service and reduce waiting times on the phone, we are changing how we notify patients of “No-Action” test results.

---

✅ What is a “No-Action” Result?

A “No-Action” result means:

✔ Your doctor has reviewed your result(s)

✔ No follow-up appointment is required at this time

✔ Your result has been assessed and no further action is needed

You will receive a secure SMS message advising you that your results have been reviewed.

---

⏳ Waiting for Multiple Results?

If you have had more than one test performed, please allow up to 5 days for all results to be received and reviewed by your doctor.

---

👩‍⚕️ Still Have Concerns?

If your symptoms continue, or you would like to discuss your results or any other health concerns, please make an appointment with your doctor.

---

📞 Keep Your Details Up to Date

To receive SMS result notifications, we need your correct mobile phone number.

Please check your contact details with Reception today.

---

❌ Prefer Not to Receive SMS Results?

You can opt out of SMS result notifications at any time by advising our reception staff.

Thank you for helping us provide a faster and more efficient service.

An electronic prescription is a digital version of a paper prescription. It is a safe and convenient alternative that Australians can choose when they next need a prescription from their healthcare provider.

Instead of receiving a paper copy, consumers can receive an electronic prescription as a text message or email, or have it securely stored in their Active Script List. The Active Script List allows people to keep all their electronic prescriptions in one place, making it easier to manage medicines and share prescriptions with their chosen pharmacy.

Consumers can also manage their electronic prescriptions using the 1800MEDICARE app. This free mobile app allows people to easily view and manage their electronic prescription tokens, access their Active Script List and view important Medicare information.

For more information about electronic prescriptions, the Active Script List and the 1800MEDICARE app, visit https://www.digitalhealth.gov.au/initiatives-and-programs/electronic-prescriptions or https://mphn.org.au/digital-healthehealth

on the Murrumbidgee Primary Health Network website. https://mphn.org.au/

To help with early diagnosis and treatment of haemochromatosis, the Australian Government is supporting Haemochromatosis Australia to create a new, nationwide, cloud-based patient registry. 

The registry will collect health data from patients across the country. This data will help: 

• develop new treatments for haemochromatosis 
• understand its role in chronic conditions like liver disease, arthritis, diabetes, heart issues, and brain health. 

How you can help 

The registry was launched on 14 August 2024, and is open for registration. https://registry.haemochromatosis.org.au/   For more information about haemochromatosis, visit www.ha.org.au or call 1300 019 028. Be part of this project and help improve the future of haemochromatosis treatment and research!
