Telehealth VIC

Online Doctor in Melbourne

Melbourne is spread across a huge metropolitan area, and getting to a GP across the city can take longer than the appointment itself. ConsultNow brings a registered Australian doctor to you, wherever you are in greater Melbourne, without leaving home or work.

From the CBD and the inner north to the outer suburbs of the west, north and south-east, patients can request a consultation online and speak to a doctor by phone. Medical certificates are delivered by email, eScripts arrive by SMS for collection at any local chemist, and pathology or imaging referrals can be used at the provider closest to you. It is a practical option when you are unwell, short on time, or simply do not want to sit in a waiting room.

  • No travel, parking or waiting room
  • AHPRA-registered Australian doctors
