    Just in case that you do not like to go trough the weekend like this if I remember correctly in the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital are ear specialist therefore would not surprise me that the pharmacy in the hospital or the one on the building were are the doctors private suits have the medicine that you are looking for.
    Just a suggestion

    I thought I'd got an ear infection too as I woke up really dizzy and had a bit of pain in my left ear when I got up tuesday morning .I went to the doctors on Wednesday but he thinks it's blocked rather than an infection, so I'm putting drops in my ear every night then have to go back monday morning to have my ear syringed out

    My understanding is that chemists are paid the exorbitant prescription fee partly because they are supposed to be able to supply any TGA
    Listed prescription within 24 hours.
    Certainly my experience has been that a chemist will go to extreme lengths to do so.
    Forget this if the ones you want are not under the government subsidy scheme but if they are maybe you should complain to the TGA.

    If you get really stuck, a mix of lemon juice and glycerine in the ear, morning and night has always done trick for us.
    Things clear up overnight, or a couple of days at the longest.
