Frequently Asked Questions
What is a telehealth appointment and how does it work?
A telehealth appointment is a consultation with a registered doctor by secure video or phone instead of visiting a clinic. During the appointment, an AHPRA-registered Australian doctor can assess your symptoms, prescribe medication, issue medical certificates and arrange referrals - all online, from anywhere in Australia.
How do I book a telehealth appointment online?
To book a telehealth appointment, choose a time on the TelehealthDR website, tell us briefly what you need, and an AHPRA-registered doctor calls you - usually within about 40 minutes. You can book online in under two minutes, 7 days a week including after-hours.
How much does a telehealth doctor appointment cost?
A telehealth appointment costs from $49.99 for a consultation of up to 10 minutes. That includes any prescription, eScript, medical certificate or referral your doctor issues - no membership and no hidden fees.
Are your telehealth doctors real, registered Australian doctors? (new)
Yes. Every doctor at TelehealthDR is registered with AHPRA (the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency) and works from our NSW-based medical practice. You speak with a qualified Australian GP - not an overseas call centre or an automated form.
Can I get a prescription through telehealth?
Yes. Your telehealth doctor can issue new and repeat prescriptions as an eScript sent straight to your phone, ready to use at any Australian pharmacy. Over 100 common medications are available online.
Can telehealth doctors prescribe all medications?
Telehealth doctors can prescribe over 100 common medications, but controlled drugs and Schedule 8 medications (such as strong opioids and some ADHD medicines) require an in-person assessment and can't be prescribed online.
Can I get a medical certificate from a telehealth appointment? (new)
Yes. An AHPRA-registered doctor can issue a medical certificate for work, study or carer's leave during your telehealth appointment. It's provided digitally and is accepted by Australian employers.
Can I get blood tests or specialist referrals through telehealth? (reframed from your pathology FAQ)
Yes. Your telehealth doctor can order pathology (blood tests) and issue referrals to specialists and allied health, sent to you digitally. Ongoing follow-up of results is best managed by your regular GP.
Is a telehealth appointment as effective as an in-person visit?
For many everyday health concerns, a telehealth appointment is just as effective as an in-person visit - including common illnesses, repeat prescriptions, chronic-condition reviews and follow-ups. Some conditions still need a physical exam, and your doctor will tell you if an in-person visit is required.
What are the benefits of a telehealth appointment?
Telehealth lets you see an Australian doctor from home, saving travel and waiting-room time. It gives faster access to care for common health concerns and repeat prescriptions, and is ideal if you're busy, unwell, in a remote area, or have limited mobility.
Are telehealth appointments available in rural and remote areas?
Yes. TelehealthDR is available Australia-wide - anywhere with an internet or phone connection. Patients in rural and remote areas can see a doctor without travelling, and prescriptions can be sent to a local pharmacy.
Are there after-hours or weekend telehealth appointments?
Yes. Appointments are available 7 days a week, including after-hours and weekends - so you can see a doctor outside standard clinic hours when your regular GP is closed.
How quickly can I see a telehealth doctor - can I get an appointment today?
Most patients speak to a doctor within about 40 minutes of booking, and same-day appointments are available 7 days a week. You can often get an online doctor appointment today, including evenings and weekends.
Why do you need my Medicare card number?
Australian law requires a Medicare or IHI (Individual Healthcare Identifier) number to issue an eScript prescription. Your Medicare card is used for prescribing and identification only - TelehealthDR is a private service and does not bulk-bill.
What payment options are available?
TelehealthDR accepts standard Australian payment methods, including major credit and debit cards. You pay a simple, upfront fee from $49.99 before your appointment, with no hidden charges.
What do I need for a telehealth video appointment?
You'll need a stable internet connection, a phone, tablet or computer with a camera and microphone, and a quiet, private space. Have your Medicare card and a list of your symptoms and current medications ready.
What happens if I miss my appointment or the doctor doesn't call?
If you miss your call, contact our support team and we'll help you rebook. If the doctor can't reach you due to a service issue on our side, you'll be offered a rebooking or a refund.
Do students get a rebate for telehealth?
No. TelehealthDR is a private telehealth service, so consultations aren't eligible for a student or private-health-insurance rebate. Pricing is simple and upfront, from $49.99.
If you are experiencing a medical emergency, such as chest pain, difficulty
breathing, severe bleeding, stroke symptoms, or if your consultation is for an infant
under 3 months of age with a fever, immediately call 000 for an ambulance or visit
your nearest emergency department.
