Online doctor appointments available 24/7 – wherever you are
Our patients choose Doctors on Demand for a wide variety of reasons, ranging from managing chronic conditions, to addressing specific concerns – or simply because they need a prescription or referral. They’re open every day, 24 hours a day – including public holidays – because they know the need for medical advice doesn’t always happen during conventional practice hours.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know
Are your doctors registered in Australia?
All doctors consulting for Doctors on Demand are registered in Australia by the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). All doctors are fully insured.
Do I have a choice of female or male doctors?
Yes. You can request a female or male doctor. (Please note this request is subject to availability and is not guaranteed).
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.
See our pricing page for more information on what your private fee appointment will cost.
What types of prescriptions can be managed via telehealth?
Telehealth is a good option for managing many types of medical prescriptions. Our patients see us for a variety of online prescriptions, from contraception through to erectile dysfunction, and for conditions ranging from high blood pressure to asthma & allergies. Approval of a medication request, and any repeat prescriptions, are at the doctor’s discretion. Some medications should be prescribed by one prescriber who has overall management of your condition. Schedule 4 drugs which have the potential to cause harm or be misused such as benzodiazepines, duromine, zolpidem, zopiclone, quetiapine and high strength codeine are not routinely prescribed and should be sourced from your regular GP. No schedule 8 controlled drug medication or drugs of addiction will be prescribed via our telehealth services.
