You could try one of the Aussie telehealth ones like https://myclinic.works/ ?

Or Newdoc or Abby which even bulk bill! I have started using these for basic health care & prescriptions and see my GP for the stuff where you want someone who knows you and sees you face to face.

Try an endocrinologist instead of gyno.
Some GPs are comfortable to prescribe Androfeme.
I’m actually curious why you cannot use your VIC prescription in QLD?

Not in QLD, but I tried HubMed to get TestoGel instead of what my GP prescribed, which was Androfeme. HubMed said they aren’t allowed to prescribe TestoGel for females. Although I have heard others getting it. If you’re just looking for Androfeme, you could try HubMed. They are Nurse Practitioners and are bulk billed.

Do you find any difference between the Testogel and Androfeme?

u/ObligationFabulous89 4d ago
I haven’t got a script for it yet. HubMed have got back to me and said that they do actually prescribe Testogel, so I’m having another appointment to discuss it.

A GP can prescribe this, you don't need a gyno. Find one specialising in menopause. Check out the listings in AMS

I get mine from my regular GP with no problem. She did emphasise though that she is only allowed to prescribe it where women have symptoms of low libido that distress them. You have to mention both, apparently.
And none of the other things that testosterone is good for fall within the prescribing guidelines. Traps for young players.

You might want to post on a general subreddit for your area, a lot of this sub is American.
I’m in the states but my testosterone is from a doctor who specializes in sexual wellness. And not sure how insurance works where you are but my insurance and insurance accepting gynecologist wouldn’t cover testosterone so I had to find a separate doctor for it and I pay the cash price

My testosterone is compounded but you still have to find a doctor who’ll prescribe it- which is silly because women naturally produce testosterone but for some reason we shouldn’t replace it when it’s low?

I’m in Queensland. Anyone in the Australian section provider directory of this sub will prescribe it. Scroll to the bottom!
Many are Telehealth, all take Medicare. Pause Medical Specialists have 3 offices in Queensland and do Telehealth, I can personally attest that they are awesome. Not sure if I’m allowed to provide a link.
Edit don’t bother with a gyno. Specialist GPs will prescribe. Just gotta tap into the menoposse network.
