Alice Springs is the hub of Central Australia, where specialist services are a long way off and GP appointments can be hard to secure. ConsultNow gives Alice Springs and Central Australian patients a straightforward way to speak with an AHPRA-registered Australian doctor online.
Whether you live in town, on a station or in a remote community, if you have a phone or internet connection you can request a consultation, speak with a doctor and receive a medical certificate or eScript digitally. Visitors and tourists travelling through the Red Centre can also use telehealth for non-emergency issues without searching for a local clinic. For emergencies, always call 000 or the Royal Flying Doctor Service.
Everything is done online, so you can get care without leaving Alice Springs or your home.
