Frequently Asked Questions
Are your doctors registered?
Yes. All our doctors are AHPRA-registered. You can check any doctor on the AHPRA public register at ahpra.gov.au.
How much does a consultation cost?
A standard GP consultation is $49. Medical certificates are from $15, referrals are $25, and a mental health care plan is bulk billed for eligible Medicare card holders.
Do I need to be in Australia?
Yes. You need to be in Australia at the time of your consultation, because our doctors are registered to practise in Australia.
Will my employer or university accept a medical certificate?
Employers and education providers can ask for evidence, and a certificate from a registered doctor is commonly accepted. Whether yours is accepted depends on their policy, so check yours if you are unsure.
What can't you help with online?
We can't help with emergencies. Workers' compensation, court, fit-to-work and Centrelink certificates need an in-person assessment, so please see your regular GP. Some medicines, including Schedule 8 and other controlled medicines, are not available. A doctor will tell you when an in-person visit is needed.
