Convenience Meets Quality Healthcare in Brisbane

Need urgent medical care but can’t go to a doctor? Finding quality medical care in a bustling city like Brisbane can be challenging, especially when you’re juggling work, family, and personal commitments. Long waiting times, limited after-hours services, and the struggle to find a healthcare provider who truly understands your needs can be overwhelming.

That’s where Instant Consult can help. We bring quality healthcare from Australia’s most trusted doctors right to your home in Brisbane or anywhere in Queensland. With our telehealth services, you can connect with Australian doctors for a video consultation whenever is most convenient for you.

We’re more than just a quick and easy alternative for when your regular GP isn’t available. Our team of general practitioners are registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP). They are also thoroughly vetted for their skills and expertise to ensure you receive the top-notch medical care you would expect to receive in a face-to-face consultation.

Whether you’re looking for medical advice, prescriptions, medical certificates, or specialist referrals, you can enjoy the flexibility of online doctor consultations anytime, anywhere.

Why Go For Online Doctor Services?

  • Convenience: Access medical care from anywhere, saving time and avoiding the need to travel. It’s ideal for busy individuals, parents, or those with mobility issues.
  • Time-Saving: Telehealth appointments can often be scheduled faster than in-person visits, reducing waiting times. Plus, no time is spent in waiting rooms.
  • Accessibility: Online doctor consultations are more accessible for people living in remote or rural areas where medical facilities might be scarce. As long as you have a smartphone or a laptop with a stable internet connection, you’re good to go.
  • After-Hours Service: Our online doctor services are available when your regular GP isn’t, making it easier to get care outside of typical business hours.
  • Preventative Care: Easier access to doctors means earlier intervention and better preventative care. This can prevent certain illnesses from becoming worse.
  • Reduced Exposure to Illnesses: Avoid catching bugs in waiting rooms or exposure to other potentially contagious patients. This is especially important during the flu season or when there’s an epidemic.

Keep in mind, however, that online doctor consultations should only be considered for non-emergency medical needs and for conditions that don’t require physical consultations. If you are dealing with a serious injury or a potential health emergency like chest pain and shortness of breath, you should head to the nearest emergency department immediately. For complex conditions like fractures or severe skin infections, we suggest booking a physical consultation with your GP.

Frequently Asked Questions

At Instant Consult, we connect you with the first available doctor to ensure you get the medical help you need as soon as possible. So, there is no guarantee that you will see the same doctor for every consultation. However, all your medical records and information will be available in your Instant Consult account, so your consulting doctor will still have access to your medical history.

You’ll need a device with a camera and microphone, like a smartphone, tablet, or computer, and a stable internet connection.

Consultations typically last about the same as in-person visits, but this can vary based on your needs. In general, it can last from 10 to 20 minutes. Some consultations may be shorter for straightforward issues like prescription refills, while more complex cases, like discussing multiple health concerns, might take longer.
