Online Doctor in Wollongong

Wollongong and the Illawarra stretch along a narrow coastal strip, and many residents commute to Sydney or the university for work and study. ConsultNow helps Illawarra patients see a registered Australian doctor online instead of fitting a clinic visit around a long day.

From Thirroul and Corrimal to Shellharbour and Kiama, you can request a consultation, speak with a doctor by phone and have a medical certificate emailed or an eScript sent to your phone for any local pharmacy. It is useful for University of Wollongong students, commuters and families who want quick, affordable access to a doctor.
