I have faxed them when a pharmacy has needed to know urgently what I am prescribing. I have then posted the original to the pharmacy or asked the patient to collect it and take it to the pharmacy. This is a good question. I have just read the Yellow Book and it does not address this question. I have just asked the PBS - you will have seen the message. I'll let you know when I receive a reply. Replies from the PBS or Medicare Australia often take weeks.
