Australia - Arriving with prescription drugs (birth control) [closed]

I'm going to move to Australia 2 months from now and my wife has some concerns about taking a pack with 6 months worth of birth control pills. Reason why is we'll have plenty of stuff to care about in our first 6 months and not having to look for a doctor right away would be awesome.

Problem is i'm not being able to find a reliable source which tells me if she can do that.

Some websites that i've seen stated that she would be able to take her pills IF she took a translated prescription from her doctor, while others state that she won't be able to take them at all.

So, has any woman around here ever been through that ? Thanks.

Can I bring birth control pills to Australia?

Don't bring medicines or medical devices into Australia for anyone other than yourself or an immediate family member. For prescription medicines, we recommend you carry a prescription or letter from your doctor with you.

Do you have to declare birth control at customs Australia?

Like all other medications, you must declare these on your Incoming Passenger Card before presenting to the customs officer. Peptides, hormones, and all androgenic or anabolic substances carry regulations especially relevant for athletes or medical staff in Australia.

Do prescription drugs need to be in original containers when flying?

Medications can be packed in a pill box. However, it is usually best to keep medicines in labeled containers provided by your pharmacist. TSA does not require medications to be in their original, labeled, prescription containers. However, using the original containers may limit delays or additional questioning.

Can you import prescription drugs for personal use in Australia?

If the medicine is prescription-only in Australia, you must have a valid Australian prescription or written authority. You should arrange for a copy of the prescription or written authority to be enclosed with the package the medicine is sent in. You can't import most medicines with animal or human material.
