How to Make A Telehealth Doctor Appointment
Here’s how to book a telehealth consultation at Instant Consult:
- Sign Up or Log In: First, visit the Instant Consult website or download the app. Create an account if you’re a new user or log in if you already have one.
- Book an Online Doctor Consultation: On your dashboard, choose the “Request a Consult” option. Follow the prompts, and a doctor will connect with you in 15 minutes or less.
- Talk to Your Doctor: Discuss your symptoms, medical history, and any medical condition with your doctor. Disclose any information that will help your doctor assess your medical needs.
- Receive Care: After the video consultation, your doctor will review your health information and provide the medical services you need. If referrals or certificates are necessary, they will be sent directly to your Instant Consult account. You can download them or send them directly to their intended recipients by clicking on the share button at the bottom of your screen.
You can follow these same steps if you need to book a follow-up consultation with one of our telehealth doctors. Note that we connect you to the first available doctor, so there is no guarantee that you’ll be talking to the same doctor during your follow-up consultation. However, all our doctors are highly qualified and fully vetted, so you can expect the same level of care no matter who you consult with.

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.
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.
