GP2U provides patients with direct access to Australian doctors online using video conferencing. Consultations with both GPs and Specialists are available.
All you need is access to a computer, tablet or phone that has a good Internet connection.
Medicare funds some Telehealth, but only if it is between a patient and a Specialist doctor, and then only if the patient is in a Telehealth eligible area.
If you are not in an eligible area, or would like to see a GP or Allied Health Professional via video conference then things work on a user pays basis. Some private health funds cover the cost. A typical GP consultation costs $69.
Your online doctor can provide you with expert advice, and where indicated, Prescription Medications, Referrals and Medical Certificates. Here is a list of Australian medications that can, in appropriate circumstances, be prescribed. Mental health, sexual health, and the management of range of other conditions can all be effectively handled via video conference. A number of our doctors have a particular interest in weight loss, so if you have been trying to lose weight without success we can probably help.
Our innovative Skype2doctor service brings GPs directly to you. You can book an online GP appointment simply by clicking book now. To book an appointment you will need to login. If you don't have a login click here to register as a patient and you could be seeing a doctor online within minutes. Registering online is just like filling in the registration form at any doctor's surgery, and just as easy.
Once you're registered you can log in and book an appointment at a time that suits you. Our unique virtual waiting room provides a countdown to your appointment and keeps you informed if your online doctor is running on time. Simply login, relax and wait for your doctor to connect.
Specialist medical services can generally be bulk billed under Medicare. GP services are not currently funded by Medicare so require that you have the ability to make an online payment via Visa, Mastercard or PayPal.
Our partnerships with Terry White Chemists and Priceline Pharmacies, two of Australia's most trusted pharmacy brands allows us to provide seamless access to medications in hundreds of convenient locations around Australia and, if you can't get to a store in person, we can arrange delivery by courier or mail.
