Leading Telehealth Doctor Services in Australia. Speak to a fully licensed telehealth doctor via video consultation.

If you live rurally, or are unwell, getting physical access to a medical centre for a consultation can be difficult – and that is why more people are exploring new ways to access GP services – like a telehealth doctor.

This modern need to find new ways for people to access healthcare is one of the reasons why we started Instant Consult – as a platform to make it easy and affordable to get a consultation with a fully qualified doctor. No appointments, no travelling – just simple access to a video consultation to give you the medical help and advice you need. Better than a telehealth doctor, a face to face consultation over video makes it easier for your online GP to give you appropriate medical advice.

Instant Consult is available online, through iOS and Android apps, and all you need is an internet connection, video capabilities, a microphone, and speakers. Why Instant Consult.

What can I use my online telehealth consultation for?

See the variety of medical services one of our telehealth doctors can deliver for you.

You’ll be surprised at just how much you can actually get done without the GP needing to be in the room with you physically. Short of diagnostic tests that require your physical presence, there’s plenty of things that you can accomplish when speaking with your online GP.

Get prescriptions for medications

Our online telehealth service in Australia is also commonly engaged by people who want to update their prescriptions or request new ones altogether. This means that if you have a medication you rely on but find it difficult to travel to a physical GP clinic, you can use Instant Consult to get that prescription remotely and sent to a pharmacy of your choice.

Using an online telehealth consultation to request certain types of medication may be preferred by those who are dealing with a potentially sensitive medical issue. For example, men who are balding or suffering from erectile dysfunction can use Instant Consult to put an extra degree of separation between them and the telehealth doctor, potentially making it easier for them to speak honestly and get the help they need.

It’s never good to skip medication or fail to address an issue properly if you find visiting a physical GP clinic is too stressful or embarrassing for you – use Instant Consult instead.

Fully licensed and experienced practitioners

When you engage our online GP, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that each and every last one of them has been carefully vetted so that we only ever connect real medical practitioners with our users. You’ll never have to second guess whether or not the person you are talking to is legitimate, and this ensures comfort knowing that the actions they suggest you take are based in current medical science.

The last thing you would want is to be connected with someone you couldn’t guarantee was a real GP and therefore not be able to trust their advice. With Instant Consult, you never need to have this fear with your online telehealth consultation.

Easy-to-use

Our user-friendly application makes it easy for anyone to download, register, and connect with our online telehealth services in Australia. It’s so simple that most of today’s tech-savvy children would have no trouble figuring it out.

This simplicity in use means that more people will be able to access online GP and get the help they need. When more people are getting adequate treatment for their issues, everyone benefits.

Time-saving

Without a doubt, the most popular feature of Instant Consult is the fact that it allows people to save a great deal of time otherwise spend travelling to a physical clinic and engaging with the notoriously cumbersome medical bureaucracy. Say goodbye to speaking to receptionists to find a time the GP is free. Say goodbye to sitting in a waiting room with old magazines and crying children. Finally, say goodbye to being told how many other patients are ahead of you in the queue (your appointment is never exactly on time).

With Instant Consult, this entire depressing process can be forgotten, and you can fast-track your recovery by getting meaningful steps completed in a shorter amount of time. For example, in the time it takes to drive to a clinic and wait for your appointment, you could have used Instant Consult and be on your way home from the pharmacy with the medication you need.

Avoid embarrassing or awkward situations

As mentioned, there are specific issues that people find uncomfortable to speak about (such as sexual health). If you feel embarrassed about asking for help with a problem, then you are going to end up needlessly suffering because of an irrational belief. If you can’t shake the fear of walking into a physical clinic to explain your problems, then Instant Consult can be a way for you to engage with a GP without the same level of exposure.

The most important thing is that you don’t avoid speaking about your issues and get the help you need as quickly as possible. Instant Consult allows you to easily connect with and talk to an online telehealth doctor who can give you prescriptions for medications that treat issues like baldness or erectile dysfunction.

If you fail to seek the help you need because of embarrassment or judgement from others, then you’re going to feel even worse and potentially end up with issues like depression. It’s best to avoid this and start talking to a professional by downloading Instant Consult, registering your details, and requesting a chat with an online GP.

Instant access to chat with a doctor with a comprehensive range of services

With Instant Consult, you can chat with a doctor and get help for a wide range of medical requests, all from the comfort of your home!

1

Medical Certificates

Are you too ill to come into work and need to give your boss a medical certificate? With Instant Consult you can chat with a doctor and get a medical certificate sent directly to your app’s inbox, all without getting out of bed!

2

Prescriptions

If you need a new prescription or need to update an ongoing one then you can use our app to instantly chat to a doctor who can prepare your prescription promptly!

3

Referrals

If you have a medical condition that needs treatment from a specialist, one of our GP’s can send a digital referral straight to your app’s inbox.

4

Pathology Requests

If you need a blood cell count or to check for STDs/STIs or need any other kind of bloodwork you can easily get a pathology request sent to your inbox by any of our fully licensed online GPs. You can then take the request to the clinic of your choice.

5

Radiology Requests

If you require any special kind of diagnostic imaging such as a CAT scan or an MRI you can get a request from one of our online GPs which you can then take to your preferred provider.

Medical certificates

One of the most popular uses of our online telehealth services in Australia is to request a medical certificate in order to claim sick leave from an employer. Under employment law, workers are entitled to paid sick leave, as long as they can provide written evidence from a GP confirming their inability to work for one or several days – and this evidence takes the form of a signed and dated medical certificate.

When you wake up for work and start to feel ill, the last thing you would want to deal with is travelling to a physical clinic just to get a note saying you need to stay home. This cumbersome process is counter-productive to your recovery, since travelling to the clinic and being exposed to other sick people will only cause you more problems.

With Instant Consult, you can speak to an online telehealth doctor and get sent a medical certificate without even needing to leave your bed in the morning! You can then present this certificate to your employer when you return to work.

Request diagnostic testing (x-rays, pathology etc.)

Another widespread usage of our online telehealth consultations is to request referrals for diagnostic testing procedures such as X-rays, CT scans, and blood tests. As the name suggests, diagnostic testing seeks to help your GP determine exactly what is wrong with you, so they can give you an accurate diagnosis and plan for treatment.

The process is simple; if at the end of your online telehealth consultation the GP feels that you need further testing, they will provide you with a referral that you can take to the allied health clinic of your choice. For example, this means that if you know a good pathologist clinic near you, you can take the referral to them at your convenience.

The results are then sent back to the online telehealth doctor you initially connected with. Instant Consult makes it easy to find out what’s wrong and start fixing it in the shortest amount of time.
