    Its really not that easy in Aus this was my first option .
    let me get this straight-- are you currently on trt gels?
    if yes- you must have a dr, if yes then why wont your current dr prescribe injections? have you sked him/her?

    Yes you are correct in Aus i cannot get an injection via the doc I have asked 3 you have to see an specialist endocrinologist and this costs even more than the gel ?

    Forgot to mention I was first prescribed trt in the UK so when I moved all they will prescribe is
    the gel because here you have to see a specialist but in the UK it was prescribed by a doctor .Even through I am on the gel my test is at the lower end of the scale but I am happy because my chap works properly ?

    yes it is true, new laws took effect 1st april 2015 in Australia. Under the changes, GPs will have to consult with a specialist paediatric endocrinologist, urologist, endocrinologist or registered member of the Australasian Chapter of Sexual Health Medicine before they can prescribe testosterone for a patient.

    that is to get onto the PBS, you should find an anti aging dr that can still prescribe testosterone on a private script...private would be around $30 AUD for 1 month

    in order for your test to be covered by the PBS, you will have to get off testosterone and have blood tests showing testosterone under 6nmols.

    seems like you are paying $90 instead of $30 because you are on private, there is NO REASON why you cant get on pins as a private script. its upto the drs discretion here...id keep looking for a new dr, private scripts for pins are cheap..
