With a large, flexible workforce of Australian registered practitioners, patients can see an online doctor, psychologist or dietitian from the comfort and convenience of their home or work from any device. Using the latest in web technology, patients choose their practitioner and appointment time to securely and conveniently discuss health concerns, request a repeat prescription, a referral or medical certificate. With a network of over 2,500 pharmacies, patients can conveniently collect their medications from their nominated pharmacy directly after their online consultation.
