I'm not really sure what you mean. Did you get the prescription in Ireland or by an Irish doctor registered in Australia?
I would imagine that you would need to get a prescription from an Australian registered doctor but someone else may be able to confirm this.

I went to 2 pharmacies with my irish doctor's prescription. They told me they couldn't fill it.

Had to get an Australian doctor to match the prescription.
