Care when you need it

Online doctor appointments available 24/7 – wherever you are

Patients choose Doctors on Demand for a wide variety of reasons, ranging from managing chronic conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure, to addressing specific concerns such as respiratory illnesses, hair loss and acne – or simply because they need advice, a medical certificate, prescription or referral. Doctors are available for video consults 24 hours a day, every day – including public holidays – because illness and injury don’t always happen during standard clinic hours.
