Online Doctor in Launceston
Launceston is the main city of northern Tasmania, and GP appointments can be hard to find at short notice. ConsultNow lets Launceston patients speak to an AHPRA-registered Australian doctor online without leaving home.
From Prospect Vale and Riverside to Legana, Longford and George Town, you can request a consultation, speak with a doctor by phone and receive a medical certificate or eScript digitally. It is a great option on cold Tasmanian winter days, and for people who live out of town and would otherwise have a long trip to a clinic.
