Comparison of Available Telehealth for Men's Health Conditions

In Australia’s growing telehealth market, tailored solutions for men’s health conditions now include a variety of options: from subscription services for medication delivery for hair loss and ED to testosterone and sexual health or men’s health tests, as well as free mental health treatment plans and weight loss programs. If privacy or convenience are essential factors in helping you manage acute or chronic conditions, men’s telehealth may be the solution. Online men’s telehealth also provides access to a broader variety of providers, not limited to those in your local area.

If you know you are looking only for assistance with men’s telehealth and don’t need broader assistance, specialised providers have the most tailored service. Some offer free assessments, specialised doctors, and affordable treatment programs. Here are three of the most popular ones:

• Men's Health Clinic Australia: This service treats some of the most common men’s health conditions, including erectile dysfunction (ED), premature ejaculation (PE), testosterone deficiency (TD), and chronic pain with free online assessments and custom treatment plans. They also have a discreet delivery service.
• Mosh: This provider offers monthly subscription plans and unlimited support calls for a wide range of men’s health concerns, including sexual health, hair loss, skin concerns, and mental health. It also offers free and discreet delivery of all medication.
• Burst Health: This telehealth provider has recently pivoted into specific men’s health topics and offers a range of subscription-based medications and other services, like testosterone tests, keto shakes, ED and PE treatment, contraception, and genital herpes assistance. It offers free and discreet delivery.

While most telehealth providers offer more affordable services than a typical GP clinic, there are only a few that provide entirely free or bulk-billed services with a men’s health focus. These include:

• MensLine Australia: A 24/7 service offering free, confidential online counselling specifically for men. Their 30-minute video calls and online chat options assist with mental health challenges and family violence.
• Abby Health: This telehealth provider offers fully bulk-billed GP consultations, including a free and confidential online assessment for men’s health issues. These include mental health care (and free treatment plans), sexual health, hair loss, skin problems, testosterone tests, weight loss, and more.

A lot of the general telehealth providers I have reviewed for MediCompare also offer comprehensive men’s health services. Some are bulk-billed, and many have extended opening hours or 24/7 service. Check out the complete list of providers on MediCompare for in-depth reviews. Here are a few offering different approaches:

• Greencare Online Care: A private telehealth provider offering preventative care and general men's health consultations across various life stages.
• Hola Health: Top telehealth provider offering fast 24/7 access to GPs and other doctors. It also provides bulk-billed mental health treatment plans. Their men’s health services include specialist and blood test referrals, instant scripts for ED treatments, hair loss medications, allergy relief, and chronic disease management. Same-day delivery available.
• TerryWhite Chemmart: Provides access to pharmacists and doctors for a range of men’s health concerns, like sexual health and prostate issues, to energy levels and general check-ups. Also provides access to a range of supplements and offers free delivery on orders over $99.

Other providers with specialised services include Teldoc, HelloGP, Doctors On Demand, and InstantScripts. Their services are somewhat similar, but quality, pricing, wait times, and customer support may vary quite widely. I recommend you check out MediCompare’s quick comparison tool if you would like a side-by-side roundup.

Of course, there are a range of factors to consider when choosing a provider for you. Some providers may specialise in the condition you wish to treat or offer better follow-up care than others. Cost and availability may play a role, but perhaps you are looking for a more discreet service with regular treatment delivery?

Get clear on what your top three factors are, then have another look at my list above or at MediCompare’s reviews. Using an online men’s telehealth service should have you spoilt for choice and looked after in no time. Online telehealth can make it easier to access care when you need it, while ensuring your privacy is protected.
