After Hours Health Service vs. The Emergency Department
Despite being fully qualified and AHPRA-accredited doctors, our after hours GPs can only provide non-emergency medical services. If you have a serious injury or are dealing with serious symptoms like severe bleeding and difficulty breathing, you should head to your nearest emergency department immediately.
After hours services should only be considered for:
- Minor But Urgent Needs: For health concerns that can’t wait until your regular GP is available, like sudden flu symptoms, minor cuts, or infections.
- Medical Advice and Prescriptions: When you need medical advice or a prescription refill and can’t wait for your regular GP.
- Non-Critical Support: When you require non-emergency assistance, such as medical certificates, pathology requests, or radiology referrals.
- Convenience: After hours services are ideal when your health concern arises during evenings, weekends, or public holidays.
- Avoiding Long Waits: Emergency departments prioritise critical cases, so for less urgent issues, an after hours doctor can be a quicker option.
Why Instant Consult?
- Round-the-clock Availability: Our platform is open from 6 AM to midnight AEST, seven days a week. We specifically cater to those times when your regular GP may not be available, providing a reliable healthcare option.
- Registered Australian Doctors: You’ll be consulting with fully qualified and AHPRA-accredited Australian health professionals, ensuring high-quality medical advice and care.

Frequently Asked Questions
Instant Consult after hours doctors provide telehealth consultation. Meaning, all interactions with the doctor and the patient are done online through video calls and the Instant Consult app. Home visit doctors, on the other hand, go on house calls to provide physical face-to-face consultations.
While both provide medical care outside of standard clinic hours, Instant Consult after hours services offer a faster and more convenient option. It’s ideal if your condition can be addressed without a physical consultation.
At Instant Consult, we are committed to giving you the medical care you need when you most need it. So when you request a consultation on the Instant Consult app, the first available doctor will usually connect with you within 15 minutes or less.
Our goal is to provide you with the best quality medical care at the soonest possible time. That’s why we connect you with the first available doctor on our platform. No worries, however. All our after-hours doctors are Australian-registered, AHPRA-accredited, thoroughly vetted, and committed to providing you with the exceptional medical care you deserve.
Our doctors can only provide initial advice for mental health concerns. They can, however, provide a referral to a mental health specialist so you can get the targeted care you need.
