Online Doctor in Townsville
Townsville is the largest city in North Queensland, serving a wide region of defence families, miners and students, and it can be hard to find a same-day GP appointment. ConsultNow lets Townsville patients see a registered Australian doctor online from home.
Patients across Townsville, Thuringowa, Magnetic Island and the surrounding region can request a consultation, speak with a doctor by phone and receive a medical certificate or eScript digitally. When the tropical heat or wet-season weather makes a trip across town unappealing, telehealth keeps care simple.
