Online Doctor in Darwin

Darwin has a tropical climate, a mobile workforce and a smaller pool of GP appointments than the southern capitals, which can make seeing a doctor in person difficult, especially in the wet season. ConsultNow lets Darwin patients speak to a registered Australian doctor from home.

Whether you live in the city, Palmerston or the rural area, you can request a consultation online and speak with a doctor by phone. Medical certificates are emailed, eScripts are sent to your phone for collection at a Darwin pharmacy, and referrals can be arranged where clinically appropriate. It suits defence and mining workers, shift workers and families who prefer not to travel when they are unwell.

  • No travel, parking or waiting room
  • AHPRA-registered Australian doctors
  • Medical certificates from $12.50
