When choosing an afterhours doctor online or through Telehealth, it is important to first consider your medical needs. If you have a serious medical emergency, then going to an emergency room is your best option. However, if you have a less serious medical problem requiring a Telehealth or online doctor, you can receive medical care from an after hours online doctor such us the service we offer.

Benefits of an online after hours doctor include:

• Convenience: You or a family member can consult with an online doctor from the comfort of your own home or any Australia-wide location. This is especially convenient if you are unwell, or if you have a family or other dependents requiring your care or if you or a family member are elderly. Great for FIFO workers too.

• Affordability: After hours online doctor services are often more affordable than traditional in-person appointments. This is because you reduce travel times, travel costs and time sitting in a waiting room. Many clinics include an after hours fee in excess of regular appointment costs if they are open longer hours.

• Privacy: Your medical information will be kept completely private and confidential.  

• Speed: You can usually book an appointment with an online doctor including afterhours, on weeknights, weekends or holidays much faster than you can with a traditional in-person doctor. This is especially helpful if you are feeling sick and need to see a doctor right away.

• Access: Online doctor services are available 24/7, so you can receive the care you     need when you need it. This is especially helpful if you are busy, work late, and need flexibility or if you live in a rural, regional or remote area with limited medical services or long wait times for in-person doctor appointments.
