From an Australian allergy site. In case anyone wondered what the price was like in Australia.
“You do NOT NEED A PRESCRIPTION to buy an EpiPen in Australia. They are a so-called S3 item. The pharmacist can dispense the device with instructions. But buying it this way will be expensive, of the order $100 to $150. The Australian Government subsidises EpiPen if if the first prescription is made by a hospital emergency department, or by an allergist, clinical immunologist, respiratory physician or paediatrician. The cost then drops to $4 for health Card or $35 for non-pensioner.”
