Active Script List (ASL)

An Active Script List (ASL), also known as My Script List (MySL), is a secure, government-approved digital system that keeps track of all your active electronic prescriptions (eScripts) and repeats. This list contains "active" scripts, meaning they are available to be filled at a pharmacy. Designed for convenience, it helps you and your healthcare providers easily manage your medications, especially if you take multiple prescriptions. As Scripty has ASL functionality, this means you can view and manage your ASL directly within Scripty. To start using an ASL, simply register with your pharmacy.

You can learn more at:

• MySL – Approved operators of the ASL

• Australian Digital Health Agency

Once you link your Scripty app to your Active Script List (ASL) using the unique activation code provided by your pharmacy, Scripty syncs with your ASL in real-time.

This connection ensures that any new scripts or repeats are automatically added to your Scripty account. No more searching through your SMS to add your scripts in each time – your scripts stay updated effortlessly.

Your healthcare providers, such as doctors and pharmacists, update your ASL whenever they prescribe new medications or dispense your scripts. The ASL continuously compiles your latest prescriptions, ensuring it stays up to date. With Scripty's ASL functionality, your ASL syncs with Scripty, making it easy to view and manage your scripts in one place. You can also request that your healthcare provider doesn’t upload certain scripts to your ASL if you prefer.

The Active Script List (ASL) is part of the Australian Digital Health Agency initiative. It is operated by MySL, which is managed by Medication Knowledge and eRx Script Exchange Pty Ltd (eRx). Both are wholly owned subsidiaries of Fred IT Group Pty Ltd (Fred). eRx functions as the National Prescription Delivery Service, maintaining data related to prescription orders across Australia.

Absolutely! ASL meets the high standards set by the Department of Health and Aged Care and the Australia Digital Health Agency, ensuring your prescription information is kept safe.

Also, for Scripty to connect to the Active Script List, Scripty also must meet the standards set by the Australian Digital Health Agency. We go through the conformance process with the operators of the National Prescription Delivery Service and the Australian Digital Health Agency. You can find out product listed on the ePrescribing conformance register.

Simply ask a pharmacy for your ASL activation code. Ideally, visit a pharmacy where you’ve had a script dispensed before, as you’ll already be in their system. However, you can go to any pharmacy to request it. The pharmacy will verify your identity, sign you up to ASL by sending you an SMS to obtain your consent (if you haven’t already), and then provide you with your unique activation code, which will look something like "ABC-1234."

Tip: Make sure they give you your ASL activation code, not a code for their pharmacy app.

If your pharmacy won’t provide you with the ASL activation code, try to understand the reasons why. It might be that they’re unfamiliar with what it is or how to generate the code. In this case, you can point them to our handy guide for assistance. It could also be that you’re not yet in their dispensing system, or they don’t have the appropriate pharmacy software to set you up and provide the code.

A quick conversation with the pharmacy staff can often help clarify and resolve the issue.

That’s okay! Some pharmacies might not be fully up-to-date with the ASL process.

They may already know how to set up ASL so they can view your scripts in their system, but they might not realise that consumers like you can also access and manage your ASL through your app of choice.

If needed, you can point them to Scripty’s ASL Guide for Pharmacy for more information

To connect to your ASL, your details are entered precisely as they are recorded in the ASL registry. This includes your Date of Birth and the ASL activation code.

You might want to check what is on one of your scripts or have a conversation with your pharmacist to confirm that the details in their dispensing records match those in the ASL registry.

It's also possible that it’s poor internet connectivity or a temporary outage of the ASL registry. Try again.

If these options still don’t work, contact us and we'll see how what we can do. We may need to contact the ASL operators on your behalf.

Right now, visiting a pharmacy is the primary way to get your ASL activation code. They can verify your identity and get you set up, especially if you’ve had scripts dispensed there before.

In some cases, your doctor might also be able to provide an ASL activation code if their software supports it.

For now, pharmacies are your go-to, but in the future, there may be even easier ways to connect to your ASL without needing a pharmacy. This is currently being reviewed by the Australian Digital Health Agency – stay tuned for updates!

Not at all! You’re free to go to any pharmacy at any time. The pharmacy’s role is simply to verify your identity and assist with managing your scripts if needed.

If you prefer to manage your own scripts, you can use the Scripty app to take full control. This includes revoking access from any pharmacy you're previously given permission to, if you choose.

No, your ASL activation code is permanent and doesn’t expire.

It is your unique code, make sure you keep it safe.

That happens, no worries! Simply visit a pharmacy and request your ASL activation code again. Your ASL code is unique and remains the same no matter which pharmacy you visit. While it doesn’t have to be the same pharmacy you went to before, it’s ideal to visit one you’ve used previously, as you’ll already be in their system.

You bet! Regardless of whether it's your go-to pharmacy or not, you can receive a ASL activation code from any pharmacy as long as they can verify your identity. This typically involves providing 100 points of ID. For a smoother process, consider visiting a pharmacy where you've previously filled scripts or had scripts dispensed. Since you're already in their system, it's likely to be easier and quicker.

No, each pharmacy needs your specific consent to access your ASL.

The advantage of linking ASL to Scripty is that it puts you in control. You can see which healthcare providers have permission to view your ASL and manage those permissions directly in Scripty.

It’s entirely up to you! Registering your ASL at each pharmacy you visit allows that pharmacy to directly access your ASL and view all your active scripts through their software.

Alternatively, you can register your ASL with just one pharmacy, connect it to Scripty, and use Scripty to order scripts in-store or online. Pharmacies don’t need direct access to your ASL to dispense your medications.

By connecting your ASL to Scripty, you’ll have 24/7 access to your scripts. With ASL on Scripty, your eScripts are always in your pocket, giving you complete control. You can visit any pharmacy to have your scripts dispensed or easily share your eScript records with healthcare professionals, no matter where you are.

If you're already registered with an Active Script List (ASL) or My Script List (MySL), they can look you up in their dispense system and provide you with your ASL activation code.

If you're not registered with ASL, they'll require 100 points of ID which such as your license, passport and/or Medicare number to verify your identity, followed by your mobile number or email as it's required for your consent to register you.

Nope! You can still manually add or enter each eScript and repeat token into Scripty. However, connecting to ASL is super handy—it saves you the hassle of remembering to add your scripts each time as they’ll be updated automatically.

Linking Scripty to ASL won’t change the way you receive your medication. You’ll still need to present your paper scripts to have them dispensed or show your QR code to get it scanned in-store. The difference is the added convenience of having all your eScripts in one place, automatically updated. Plus, you can ignore those SMS with eScript links – they’ll already be in Scripty for easy access.

Yes, if you share your ASL activation code with them. Keep in mind that they’ll have access to view all your scripts, as hiding specific ones isn’t an option. Only share your ASL details (Activation Code & Date of Birth) if you’re comfortable providing that level of access.

Once you grant someone access to your ASL, you won’t be able to revoke it. This is different from pharmacies or healthcare professionals, where you can manage and revoke their access through Scripty.

Yes, even after linking Scripty with MySL, you will continue to receive text messages for new eScripts and repeat eScript tokens. The convenience here is that there's no additional work required to add them to your script list in the app. Once you're on MySL and have linked it to Scripty, these new scripts and repeats will automatically appear in your Scripty list.

You can't delete active scripts from your ASL, but in Scripty, you can archive ones you don't want other healthcare providers to see.

Hiding a script means it won't show up for healthcare providers who have access to your ASL.

You can unlink from ASL in the Scripty app anytime. If you want to remove your ASL completely, contact the ASL operators on info@medicationknowledge.com.au

Absolutely, provided you have their consent or if you are acting as their guardian. Your pharmacy will need to confirm this consent before you can be given access to a family member's ASL through the activation code.

Alternatively, you could request the ASL activation code directly from your family member. It's important to note that once you have access to a family member's ASL, they cannot revoke this access themselves. If you wish to no longer view their ASL, you can unlink it in Scripty.

Yes, you'll still need the physical copy of your paper scripts to pick up your medication.

All currently active scripts are expected to be visible on your ASL. There may be instances where some scripts do not appear.

This could occur with handwritten paper scripts, if your healthcare provider has not uploaded the scripts to ASL or if you requested not to have it uploaded. If there are scripts that you are expecting to see there on your list check with your pharmacy or healthcare provider.

Once you connect with ASL, all your active scripts from the list will be accessible via Scripty.

Any additional scripts you've entered manually into Scripty that aren't present on ASL will continue to be available within the app.

A medication-chart based eScript refers to an electronic prescription that is integrated within a medication chart. While these eScripts form part of your overall medication record, they cannot be ordered through community pharmacies using Scripty. However it is part of our conformance requirements to display these eScripts if they are included in your active script list.
