How did you get clomid? (Australia)

I went to the doctor after ttc for a year now with no luck (I have extremely irregular cycles etc) and asked how I go about getting something like clomid to assist me and she basically just shut me down. But I see so many stories of people who have not been trying that long and they easily get it?

I don’t have health insurance but I am happy to pay however much needed.

Please help, how did you ladies do it haha.
