Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about peptide clinics, consultations, and how Peptide Finder works.
What is peptide therapy?
Peptide therapy refers to the use of prescription peptide-based medicines, administered under the supervision of a registered medical practitioner. In Australia, these medicines are prescribed under the TGA Special Access Scheme or via compounding pharmacies. Any prescribing decision is made by the treating practitioner after an individual consultation where clinically appropriate.
Is peptide therapy legal in Australia?
Yes. Peptide medicines can be legally prescribed by AHPRA-registered practitioners in Australia via the TGA Special Access Scheme (SAS) or through compounding pharmacies. They cannot be legally purchased without a valid prescription from a registered practitioner. Peptide Finder only lists clinics with a registered prescribing practitioner.
How do I find a doctor-supervised peptide clinic?
Use the Peptide Finder directory to compare clinics by treatment goal, state, consultation type (telehealth or in-person), and consultation fee. Each listed clinic has a registered prescribing practitioner. You can verify any practitioner on the AHPRA public register before booking.
How much do consultations cost?
Initial consultation fees vary by clinic and treatment focus. Each clinic listing on Peptide Finder shows the consult fee or a pricing guide where available. Compare up front before deciding which clinic to enquire with.
Can I access telehealth consultations?
Yes. Many Australian clinics offer telehealth consultations nationwide, making it possible to compare and book with clinics outside your local area. Filter by consult type on the directory to see telehealth-available clinics.
What should I ask before booking a consultation?
Ask whether a registered practitioner conducts the consultation, what the initial consultation fee is, whether telehealth is available, what the prescribing process involves, and whether the pharmacy compounding their products is TGA-compliant. Peptide Finder lists this information for each clinic where available.
Do I need a GP referral?
Most telehealth clinics accept direct bookings without a GP referral. However, having recent test results or relevant medical history can help your first consultation be more productive.
What treatment goals do clinics cover?
Australian clinics listed on Peptide Finder cover injury recovery, weight management, muscle and performance, anti-ageing and longevity, sleep and recovery, women's health, hormone optimisation, and sexual health. Browse by treatment goal to find clinics matching your needs.
Are the clinics on Peptide Finder verified?
Clinics are reviewed before they are listed to confirm they have a registered prescribing practitioner. Each listing is manually reviewed. Patients should always independently verify practitioner credentials on the AHPRA register.
How does the enquiry process work?
You send a free, no-obligation enquiry through a clinic's profile page. Your details go directly to that clinic only (no third parties). Clinics typically reply within one business day. Peptide Finder does not share your information with other clinics or third parties.
