Telehealth Appointment Explained

What Is a Telehealth Appointment?

A telehealth appointment is a consultation with a registered doctor by secure phone or video, instead of visiting a clinic in person. During your telehealth appointment, an Australian AHPRA-registered doctor can assess your symptoms, issue prescriptions and eScripts, provide medical certificates, and arrange referrals for pathology, imaging or specialists - all from home or wherever you are. It’s ideal for common illnesses, repeat prescriptions, and quick medical advice when you can’t get to a GP. For medical emergencies, always call 000.

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.
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.

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.
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.

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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
