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.
Everything is done online, so you can get care without leaving Darwin or your home.
Choose your service and answer a few short questions. It takes a couple of minutes.
An AHPRA-registered Australian doctor reviews your request and calls you.
Certificates are emailed and eScripts are sent to your phone, ready for any pharmacy.
