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.
Everything is done online, so you can get care without leaving Melbourne 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.
