Telehealth, also called telemedicine, lets you book online appointments with a telehealth doctor, telehealth nurse or other clinician, removing the need to head to an in-person clinic. Your consult is typically delivered via video or phone call from your own home. Essentially, a telehealth booking for a remote, virtual consultation gives you greater access to local and nationwide healthcare providers, often with extended opening hours or 24/7 care. 

In Australia, telehealth services operate under strict Medicare and AHPRA regulations, giving you peace of mind when you book with a registered telehealth provider. You can use comprehensive online platforms, specialised telehealth services or local telehealth clinics for routine scripts, medical certificates and telehealth GP reviews or check-ups. Under AHPRA oversight, the process is covered by the same standards as face-to-face care. Some services are also covered under the Medicare Benefit Scheme, which means bulk billing is available. 

How Can We Help?

MediCompare’s comparison tool lets you filter vetted providers for your specific needs. Whether you are looking for quick access to medical certificates, a high-quality GP telehealth consult and referral or prescription or the quickest medication delivery, we have ranked providers.  You can also select by preferred specialisation, such as mental health assistance or emergency contraception.  

Online Medical Certificates and Referrals 

You can compare vetted telehealth clinics that issue medical certificates, handle imaging and pathology requests, and provide specialist referrals.  Most telehealth websites offer these as standard services after a quick telehealth online appointment. 

Online Prescriptions and Refills

Many telemedicine services let you request online prescriptions, including repeat scripts and urgent medication requests. The process sometimes involves a short form or online questionnaire followed by a real-time review by telemedicine doctors on secure telemedicine platforms. E-Scripts are subject to the telehealth doctor’s assessment and recommendation. 

Mental Health, Sexual Health and Chronic Care

Comparisons and guides let you find the right telehealth company for specialised needs, such as mental health treatment plans, sexual health consultations, hair loss advice and treatment, weight loss programs and ongoing chronic care support.  National telemedicine doctors offer high-quality care, link back to your My Health Record, and ensure continuity of care throughout your treatment. 

Telehealth GP and Doctor Appointments

Patients can book a same-day or after-hours telehealth appointment, often within minutes or an hour. Many providers offer a choice of next-available or a specific telehealth doctor, with some showing bios and credentials, and some providers specialise in telehealth GP consults. These virtual consultations are best suited for common illnesses, chronic conditions, and family care.

Booking a telehealth appointment through a provider on MediCompare takes just a few steps. 

1. Browse our comparison tables, in-depth reviews or patient guides. 
2. Choose a telehealth doctor, telehealth GP or telehealth clinic and click through to the provider’s telehealth website or app.
