What are online medical consultations?

Online medical consultations connect patients with healthcare professionals via their phone or computer. Using video chat, you can discuss your health concerns with a fully qualified and accredited Australian doctor, much as you would in a traditional face to face setting. 

An online check-up allows you to access healthcare quickly, with less hassle for everyone involved. It’s simply a matter of downloading an app or visiting the relevant website, creating an account and requesting a consultation.

Accessibility
