FAQs

According to the Australian Government’s Department of Health, pharmacies in Australia can now accept electronic Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) prescriptions and send them via email or fax in some circumstances. However, this does not apply to Schedule 4 or 8 medications, and the laws around electronic prescriptions differ slightly across each state and territory. Some states also have different requirements for sending a faxed prescription prescriber-to-pharmacy, pharmacy-to-pharmacy and pharmacy-to-prescriber. Before sending a paper or electronic prescription via online fax, check with your state’s health department or the Pharmacy Board of Australia to ensure you follow current recommendations. Currently, many states and territories are treating electronic faxes and paper-based faxes the same to reduce the transmission of COVID-19 in the community. However, this could change quickly.

Online faxing is highly secure for pharmacies, as online faxes are protected with Transport Layer Security (TLS). When you send a fax online, your online faxing provider encrypts it, transmits it through their servers and decodes it as it arrives in your recipient’s inbox. As your fax remains encrypted throughout the transmission process, anyone who manages to intercept your fax can’t read it. Similarly, as online faxing providers send your fax through protected servers, it’s tough to steal digital faxes. Digital transmission makes online faxing safer than traditional faxing, as you can steal a paper fax by simply tapping the phone line. Of course, someone would need access to your faxing system to steal a fax – as online faxes are also stored in the cloud.

As pharmacies handle high quantities of confidential documents, online faxing helps pharmacists manage their documents quickly, securely and affordably. While you could spend all day scanning, sending and filing patient files, letters and paperwork, online faxing takes the leg work out of document sharing. With online fax, you can simply upload your document and send them over the internet. Then, your online faxing provider will store your faxes in the cloud, so you won’t need to file them. Online faxing also keeps your documents safe, as they are encrypted with Transport Layer Secure (TLS) throughout transmission. But that’s not all. While it costs an average of $1,259.76 a year to run a traditional fax machine, online faxing starts from $169.50 a year.

Faxing over the internet is faster than faxing via a fax machine for pharmacists. To send a fax online, you simply upload your file, type your recipient’s fax number and press “send”. Your provider will then deliver your fax quickly (in fact, online fax provider eFax delivers 90% of faxes in 60 seconds or less). Online faxing is faster than traditional faxing for three reasons. First, it’s faster because online faxing can broadcast multiple files simultaneously. Second, it’s faster because you don’t need to wait for your fax system to scan the faxes you send and print the faxes you receive. Finally, online faxing is faster because your faxing system will store your documents in the cloud (meaning you don’t need to file faxes manually).
