General Practitioner (GP)

A general practitioner (GP) is a doctor trained to diagnose and manage the full range of everyday health conditions, coordinate chronic disease care and refer to specialists when needed. GPs are the first point of contact in the Australian health system and hold current AHPRA registration.

Telehealth GPs provide the same core services online: consultations, prescriptions, medical certificates, referrals and results review. Our telehealth GP service runs seven days a week for patients in every Australian state and territory.
