Australian-Registered Practitioners
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 hair loss and acne – or simply because they need a medical certificate, prescription or referral. They’re open 24 hours a day, every day – including public holidays – because they know illness and injury don’t follow conventional practice hours.

Is my online doctor appointment covered by Medicare?
For all consults, except where clearly specified, we are private fee only. In July 2020 the Government announced changes to Medicare rebates for telehealth; That is, if we have not seen a patient face-to-face within the previous 12 months we will not be able to offer Medicare rebates for most of our services. Being a fully online service, we are wholly unable to meet this criteria.
Please note – the face-to-face requirement does not apply to:
- mental health services
We do offer Medicare eligible services for mental health. Book an appointment online.
