How it works:
✅ Request your prescription online via the AMS Connect App
✅ Standard script – $35, ready the same day
✅ Emergency script – $50, ready within 1 hour
🚫 This service is not available for Schedule 8 medications or antibiotics

Please note, if this service isn’t appropriate for your specific health needs, you’ll be referred back to your usual Doctor.

🌟 Relay for Life – A Huge Thank You! 🌟

Some of you may not know, but we have a wonderful team across our Practices that fundraises and participates in Relay for Life each year. This year, thanks to the incredible support of our staff, families, community members, and local organisations, our team raised an amazing $18,403!!! 🎉💜

A very special mention goes to Nurse Karen and her husband, who were the driving force behind this achievement. From organising the golf day and morning teas to rallying sponsors, their dedication made this possible. On behalf of everyone, we want to say a heartfelt thank you. 🙏

Relay for Life is a cause close to many of us, with staff members personally affected by cancer or supporting loved ones through their journey. Each year we aim to grow stronger, raise more, and bring more people on board. 💪

Here’s to making next year even bigger – and we’d love to see some new faces join the team! 🌸✨

The team at Yeppoon Family Practice getting into the spirit for Jeans for Genes Day! 💙👖

Love this crew — they’re full of good vibes, good denim, and big hearts for a great cause!

👖 We’re proudly supporting Jeans for Genes Day! 🧬

At Yeppoon Family Practice, we believe in making a difference—so on 1 and 7 August, we’re wearing our jeans to support Genetic Disorders Awareness and Research.

Jeans for Genes Day raises vital funds for children with genetic conditions, helping support cutting-edge research at the Children’s Medical Research Institute. 1 in 20 Aussie kids face a birth defect or genetic disease—that’s one in every classroom.

So…
👖 We’ll be rocking our denim
💰 Donating to help fund life-changing research
🫶 And raising awareness in our local community

What are YOU doing to support this cause?

Pop in, wear jeans, donate a gold coin, or just join the conversation. Every bit helps!
